If the SQL backend becomes fully viable, would that be a first step
towards "Multi-user capability" AND "Backend server"?  Assuming that
GNUCash could simply piggyback on the SQL backend's data access/locking
logic. I know that both PostgreSQL and MySql can have multiple
concurrent data accesses, so they presumably have some kind of
concurrent access management logic.

The "Better home screen" is just a matter of UI design.  Not exactly
rocket science, but...

The "Tax software integration" thing is bigger problem.  Esp. if
supporting multiple tax systems, not just USA.

Oh, I suspect that some relatively "minor" issues that seem to keep
cropping up: Invoice design, Check design, and Report design issues.
Maybe some of these will be covered in 2.4?
