Hello everyone, Thanks for your feedback Ed...it was very helpful.
James, please could you edit the requirements you're suggesting into the Community roadmap <https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FINERACT/Apache+Fineract+CN+Community+Roadmap> . I'd like to encourage the community to add items to the roadmap so that we move towards an initial release of Fineract CN. Given that some developers are working on issues on Fineract CN, I suggest we strike the items through ( like this strikethrough ) which have been closed on JIRA as I've started doing. Cheers, Isaac Kamga.
