ul ->
li "A homepage for non-users showing features / enticing sign-up. Of course. :P"
li "A dynamically updated page showing project status, both in terms of budget (income/expenses) and features/bugs. (This will also allow users to vote for features/bugs to be prioritized.)"
li "A page for accepting payments. At this stage, this is optional and I will be relying purely on people wanting to see this system succeed. In the future, more advanced API features may be behind a subscription model (intended to be $1.50/year)."
