Hi Kevin, I'm on vacation--back after new year's--but I do have a few comments on your progress.
First of all, thanks for the update! I think there are excited and interested parties that would love to be kept updated on how things are going. And since Mifos development is as transparent as possible, it is fine to have this type of conversation on the mifos-developer mailing list.

Please copy it to a Web server, then send the URL along with a a short description to the mifos-developer mailing list. Mention that you'd welcome constructive criticism. It would also be great to maintain a wiki page on mifos.org with links to your documents and notes on your progress. You could also entertain feedback there. > Most of my modeling is based on the DB schema using SchemaSpy tool. I > have not tried to guess an inheritance hierarchy yet.
