Slightly increase scope: include payment requests

The project should really include outgoing payments along with it.
Submitting an invoice for payment as an external party is really just a
"base case" of a reimbursement request.

The only complication I can imagine this adds is allowing the general
public to create an account on the system, or allow for anonymous
submission, which might lead to spam concerns in deployment.

I believe these issues should be easily mitigated and will not
drastically increase scope of the project.

As part of this actual change to the text, some wordsmithing and changes
throughout to s/reimbursement/outgoing payments/ and other similar
changes are made.

Feel free to add your own usecase to this list.

Resources on writing good use cases:

- <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Use_case#Templates>
- <http://www.mountaingoatsoftware.com/blog/advantages-of-the-as-a-user-i-want-user-story-template>

A simple form of a use case is

> “As a \<type of user>, I want \<some goal> so that \<some reason>.”

You should add your use case as a subpage of the [[UseCases]] page, to create a new page, simply enter the name of the subpage in the address bar after `/UseCases/`.

## Use cases

If you add or edit UseCases here, please also keep the
[[evaluation template|ExistingProjects/EvaluationTemplate]] in sync with the
use cases.  In other words, if you add a UseCase important enough to be a
criteria in evaluating ExistingProjects, then please make sure to update the
[[evaluation template|ExistingProjects/EvaluationTemplate]].
