FIXME: This is assessment of what the API for manipulating the accounting data does, so I think it's tough to do it as a list of questions.

Evaluation of the Storage API

FIXME: This is assessment of what the API for storing the accounting data does, so I think it's tough to do it as a list of questions.

Evaluation of the Community Health

• Is the license both determined as Free Software by FSF and OSI-approved?
• Is the ?license GPL-compatible?
• Does the project require assignment of copyright or a CLA to get code upstreamed?
• How many ?active developers/companies contribute to the project?
  • If there aren't many, how hard would it be to take over the project if needed?
• Is there good developer documentation?
• How easy it to engage as a developer with the community?
