Plugin: Budget Plugin

I've officially released the Budget plugin today. You can check out the details about it on the plugin page and the release announcement on my blog. I welcome any contributors, the list of proposed features is in my Redmine and can fork my code on GitHub.

Congratulatons!

I have read some of your budget plugin's code. It's educational.

And I have a question want to discuss with you.
It's the method to establish the relations with redmine core's model. I have found that you patched the core's model in the init stage. I think that it is too complex. And when I wrote my plugins, I just add a helper method in my model like this:

class book
  def holder
    find(:first, :conditions => "users.id = #{holder_id}")
  end
end

Do you think my way is reasonable? And any suggestions?
Thanks.

You can use that method for some parts but especially since I had to rename some methods (http://github.com/edavis10/redmine-budget-plugin/tree/master/lib/query_patch.rb#L16), I found it easier to patch the core as a module. If you can simplify the code, I'd welcome any patches.

I used this source as well as several plugins I've used to design the modules.
