[GNC-dev] Long Term Documentation Directions

Hello, As I have noted in another thread recently, I am finding the process of updating the various documentation pieces extremely challenging—due in large part to the fragmented nature of this documentation. Different contributors have placed information on similar topics in any of a number

[GNC-dev] Documentation--What else?

Hello, I am going to raise—once again—the spectre of the conflicting and duplicative information in the various documentation packages in relation to online quote retrieval. As one of the documentarians in the broader community, I episodically attempt to make sense of, clean up, and

[GNC-dev] CSV Transactions exporter issues and a question

Hello, I was just fiddling around with the CSV exporter (trying to clarify something for the FAQ) on GC3.1.1 under Mac OS 10.13.6. A couple of issues: 1) When I got to the screen to select the output filename, there was a file picker section, below which is an OK button, and the assistant

[GNC-dev] Bugzilla Structure

Hello, I was just trying to track down the status of documentation bug 777893, and was stymied for a bit. A bit of history: I raised the bug to induce the addition of information about the SQL formats. Subsequently, I wrote a section for inclusion in the Guide, which was submitted 10 days

Geert, I went ahead and closed the PR. First problem: once I closed the PR, I could not locate the changes I made; there doesn’t appear to be a way to locate those changes. Did Github delete them altogether? Oh, wait. I see the changes in the Closed PR section, although I don’t know how I
