Sounds like a good bit of work, which touches several different areas  
where more experience is good, particularly QIF imports and use of the  
database back end.  (Which database are you using?)

All of these can be discussed on this list.  Feature suggestions can be  
entered as "wishlist" items on bugs.kde.org, where they are less likely  
to get lost.  If by editing suggestions, you mean things for the  
manual, either mention them on the list, or send them directly to me,  
as I do most of the documentation editing.  (I haven't done much for a  
while, but I do have a big list of edits that I need to apply.)  I'm  
not sure what you mean by transition - can you elaborate a bit?  Screen  
enhancements can be mentioned on this list for the developers to  
consider.

Testing is always good, especially if you can test against the latest  
git version.  However, that is probably best done with a copy of your  
data, not your real active version.  The only reason the developers  
would want a copy of your data is if you find a bug, and then a minimal  
version that demonstrates the bug is best, but you can also create an  
anonymized version, which keeps the internal organization but changes  
all the actual identifiers and account names.

I'm sure the developers will add to this.
