I don't see any non-test usage of the
FiscalCalendarRules.getScheduleTypeForMeetingOnHoliday method which
returns this config value.  So at least as a first pass it does not look
like this is being used any more.

> QUESTION 2
> ===========
> The following rule exists in the file:
> FiscalCalendarRules.DaysForCalendarDefinition=30
> 
> The FS gave this description for this configuration setting:  " The

> Can anyone describe in more detail what this setting does

I also don't see any non-test usage of this config value in the current
code.

> QUESTION 3
> ==========
> In v1.0 of Mifos, there was a method to set the day of the week that

Perhaps there is a disconnect here between the FS and the current config
implementation.  In the current implementation the first day listed in
the 
FiscalCalendarRules.WorkingDays config entry is used as the starting day
of the fiscal week.  However, this usage does not allow for the start of
the fiscal week to be a non-working day.  In order to support
non-working days, this would need to be separated out into a new
configuration entry.

We'll do a little more investigation into #1 & #2 and let us know if we
need a new config value for the start of the fiscal week.
