Title	Priority	Difficulty	Description
Microsoft Licensing Restrictions	medium	medium	We don't expect Microsoft or a successor to the Money product line be content or continue to supply a product that has restored functionality without compensation. What could that arrangement be? What about replacing key Microsoft Money components, is there some problem with that? We will need some expert opinions on this topic -- see the forum.
Other Licensing Requirements	medium	medium	What, if any, licenses have to be obtained and documented in order to comply with license requirements.

How can further internal development be funded?
How can outside developers get involved and compensated?
How can the interfaces to open source projects be improved (not to mention that the one existing interface needs to be fixed)?

Title	Priority	Difficulty	Description
Debug Build Release Requirements	high	medium	What is required to release a debug build for testing? How is the tester made part of the development process? Is a non-disclosure agreement required? How to verify the license agreement, especially the part that holds the developers harmless in the event of a disaster? Does this require "employment" in any sense? What is the criteria for verifying a tester's identity? Possibilities range from email verification to a nominal credit card charge? Would such a charge trigger any product liability or other obligation?
