I think this is probably biggest area for improving the developer adoption and ease of use of GetPaid. It also plays into better payment processor integration (ie offsite). The third area proposed (ie features) is probably more about new user adoption, and is probably also better to take advantage of after we have the refactoring. If we had multiple students/mentors interested, then we could handle multiple projects. So far only one student interested. Any other feedback from groups is welcomed!!
