Wouldn’t it be a great idea to document the development of my “Money” application? I think this would allow me to analyse the problems that will definitely occur during the design and development process.

Part 1 - Description
(Markus describes how he wants to use this application)

I want to implement an application that allows me to manage my private finances. This basically means that I want to be able to input transactions and I want to have a nice graphical representation of all the transaction, narrowed down by parameters I want to be able to define. For example, all the transaction during a specified periode with a transaction name containing “xyz”. I also would like to be able to manage several accounts (bank account, cash) and easily create transaction that virtually transfer money from one account to the other.

This application doesn’t communicate with my bank account. It’s a simple offline application. All input is provided by the user = me ;-) but I guess it would be great to have a mechanism to import CVS-files.

I guess that’s it. It doesn’t sound too difficult.
