First rule of software development - know what you want to achieve!  :-)

Willing?  Certainly!  Am I qualified?  Well, I can make it up as I go along as well as the next man, but I'm not at all sure what all the different columns are actually meant to be!  That could well be because some of them relate to things I don't use in gnucash.

I shall prepare an informal paper as a starting point, and post it here in a day or so.

Agreed, though I'd hold ofF opening the bug until you have seen what I have to say ...
