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.

====================
 

	
 
[Software Freedom Conservancy](https://sfconservancy.org/) is leading an
 
[effort to create accounting software for non-profit organizations](https://sfconservancy.org/campaign/).
 
[effort to create accounting software for non-profit organizations](https://sfconservancy.org/npoacct/).
 

	
 
Conservancy welcomes the help of anyone who is interested in this issue to
 
design and develop this software.  If you want to get involved right now,
 
look below for [[information about how to get involved with this project|index#howtohelp]].
 

	
 
## Phase 0
 

	
 
Conservancy has done the following:
 

	
 
- [Writing a tutorial on a Ledger-CLI setup for fiscal sponsor 501(c)3 organizations](https://gitorious.org/ledger/npo-ledger-cli/).
 
- [[Finding and evaluating existing Free Software accounting systems|ExistingProjects]].
 
- [[Writing use cases for non-profit accounting|UseCases]].
 

	
 
## 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.

- Reading the [the IRC logs of the #npoacct channel](/irclogs/).
 
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.
