By the end of the month, I want to have a functioning Customer Portal/Payments Gateway up on my site. It does not have to be “finished” in terms of complete functionality but it has to be ready to create customer accounts and accept payments via at least one gateway (e.g. Paypal).

Why have I chosen this as my first goal? Well, I have one small customer with the possibility of a second one and this facility in place would be useful for them as well as myself. Also, being able to use & fine-tune it with a few actual customers will be helpful.
