It would be good if you could make a clear wishlist item along with an 
approximate cost. As long as it is approximate, it will make it easier 
to estimate budgetary need for the items.

BTW ... if any of this should be an amortized budgetary item(s) then you 
should also write it in. For example, if there is a hardware item that 
should be replaced every 2-3-4-x years, write this in so that the BoD 
know that this item will need replacing (amortized) over a period of X 
years. It will make it easier to forecast the needs of the dev team.

Cheers,

Marc
