1. Record debits first.

1. Symmetry is nice.
1. Symmetry is nice.

1. Explicate all transaction amounts (don't depend on ledger's implicit
transaction balancing).

1. Use comments! Especially for weird stuff.


### Change Restrictions

We start a PR for each month, named `YYYY-MM`, and we close the month by
merging the PR.

Inside of an open month, we should overwrite ledger transactions as needed.
Changes are tracked in git commits and GitHub comments.

Outside of an open month, we must make correcting transactions in the current
month, rather than overwriting transactions in the old dat file.

Inside of an open year, we may change account names (this affects all month
files for the year).

Outside of an open year, we must archive accounts rather than renaming them.

It's always okay to add comments to a file.


### Access

Many accounting tasks require access to Gratipay's bank and payment processor
