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.

Current Status
|

==============
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
We're currently planning a Reimbursement and Payment Request system. We
|
||||||
|
believe this is a relatively standalone component that other organizations
|
||||||
|
could start using quickly. Check out the
|
||||||
|
[[requirements document|Reimbursemenets/Requirements]] and let us know if
|
||||||
|
you think anything's missing. Software development will begin soon.

## 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.
