One of your open issues caught my eye:

- I don't really use the commodities yet although each category has one. Currently I just kinda fudge the calculations and use the value as a float. This will have to change once I figure out just how all that commodity stuff actually works.
You are calculating with the amounts as *floats*? This is probably not a good idea, since amount handling as float/double was dropped from gnucash long ago because of rounding issues. The recommended way of calculating amounts is as a gnc_numeric type. Drawback: The usual arithmetic operations are no longer accessible as simply operators +-*/ but instead they have to be written as function calls gnc_numeric_add_fixed(a, b) from src/engine/gnc-numeric.h. Benefit: You won't encouter any silent rounding errors anymore. And the interface to the gnucash engine API can directly be used since gnc_numeric is used in the engine all over the place. (If there are functions that still accept doubles, they are probably clearly marked as deprecated and will be removed soon.)
I.e. using the gnc_numeric data type is far more important than any commodity considerations.
Thanks a lot in any case. Keep up the good work.
