[GNC] Sharing Some Changes With the GnuCash Community

[Andre Powell]

Yes, in some spots I needed some *assistance*. I started out here -
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Custom_Reports and a lot of Google and was
able to sketch out the pieces I needed.
- the first step was a sample file and building out "financial-radar" 80
(me)/20 (I wanted to make sure I could get something on the screen)
- the second step was the budget report 70 (me)/30 (especially with reading
and parsing the notes field)
- the third step was debt repayment 50(me)/50 - I hit quite a few obstacles
(parsing not so much of an issue, but quite more other issues)
- I also used an agent to clean up the README (something I think they are
useful at doing).

What will work best for me in the future is the template I was able to
create after the fact. Which is pretty much a file structure to jog my
memory and help me think, plan, and code with Scheme. After careful
consideration, this was the biggest stumbling block I ran into was my
muscle memory of typical coding conventions and styles I use.
