index: Refresh with current plans.

* Note work on the reimbursement system.
* Streamline ways to help.
* Remove Phase 1 plans for now, since they're less reflective of the
  current approach.  A lot of the materials are still relevant, but we
  need to figure out a better presentation for them, and they're not
  critical now.

## Phase 1
Phase 1 calls for the project to:
- [Create an REST API for basic double-entry accounting, currently using Ledger-CLI as a backend](http://npoacct.sfconservancy.org/accounting-api/)
- Add functionality to that API that already exists in the [documented Ledger-CLI setup for NPO's](https://gitorious.org/ledger/npo-ledger-cli/).
- Create various reports using that API, to flush out improvements that are needed.
