One thing I would like to suggest is to have listed on the wiki not only
on what we spent money, but also list events and swag requirements that
will need budget and how much they will demand over the fiscal year. For
instance, most major events are recurrent every year and we could
presume the proper budget for them by forehand.

We usually have at least three fases of budget that should be better
discriminated: What we spent (ticket approved, payed and closed), what
we are spending (Tickets approved but not payed yet), what we will need
to spend (recurrent spending).

On the other hand we need to take care to not turn this into something
unnecessarily complicated. Fortunately most of information needed is
easily available, although not compiled in a proper way for decision
making.
