Can someone please review some documentation I've written that I would like to 
contribute to GnuCash? I've created a bug for the change, and submitted my 
changes as a patch.

The patches are in the bug report here:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=708267

I have a few comments to make, some are small changes to actual text, others 
more general.  What is the best way to do it?

Make your comments on the bug report.


Done for now.

RobertR: no amount of explaining is going to fix gnc's Budgeting but we might as well explain what it does and doesn't do as is.

Are other people here OK with that approach? I might be able to fix a few of the reports but I don't have the inside-gnc knowledge to fix the guts and always just take it outside, at least I know my scripts work and what their limits are. So I sort of wonder if some of the reports shouldn't just be marked "may not do what you expect".

I should add that I used Stable rather than Unstable for my testing but I don't think anyone has worked on Budgets recently. I can use either if anyone can tell me otherwise.

If you want to edit the files on /Windows/ or /MacOSX/, we don't know yet a good software tool that can process the DocBook files so that you can see the final document. Please add your comments here if you have a better solution.

I did it all on Win XP using cygwin (sans X) having googled in circles for a bit. Should cygwin or mingw+msys be a barrier to people editing documentation these days? the *nix command line instructions worked fine.
