## 2020 Priorities
### Documentation
Improve the docs.
- home & faq
- manuals (more discoverable structure of web manuals)
- cookbook docs (survey, plan, update)
- contrib guide (update, build from readmes)
|
### Effectiveness
Improve approachability, just-works quality, practicality, real-world usefulness.
- ghc 8.8, get back in stackage nightly
- install issues (C libs..)
- more powerful CSV conversion
- fill out holes in feature matrix
|
### Investment
Improve suitability for investment tracking
([#1015](https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/issues/1015))
- market price inference from transactions
- easy market price fetching
- lot tracking
- capital gains reporting
|
### Charts
Add charts and more visual appeal.
- console charts, basic bar charts
- clarify architecture/UI for charts
- graphical charts using Chart/matplotlib/hvega
- review/design/add more attractive default output (see taskwarrior)
