Adrien, Neither “clarification” is correct. The “Tutorial and Concepts Guide” contains a *very* basic introduction to double-entry accounting, enough to get a new user going if all they have is a simple bank account and credit card. The rest of it is “how-to” on using GnuCash to perform some

Nice. How about this for a tad more clarity on the two official documentation items: * [http://www.gnucash.org/viewdoc.phtml?doc=help The Help Manual] - a quick reference manual for ~~specific~~ _basic accounting_ tasks, and * [http://www.gnucash.org/viewdoc.phtml?doc=guide The Tutorial and

I too am confused now. First, I think David > stated in the other documentation thread that the document names need to be clarified, and that may be part of why I am confused. I think that the short names seem to be Guide and Tutorial, which, if they were used consistently, would work for me. I

Hmm.. Not sure how I missed that recently. (I’ve read it before) But then if it’s there, I wonder why so many questions still? Perhaps the organization or presentation isn’t very discoverable? User laziness? Also, I still don’t think after several years that I’m clear on the difference between

Frank, Thank you for implementing the changes. WRT removing the references to the glossaries, it *was* my intention to remove them, for a few reasons. First, the glossaries are sections of either the Guide or of the wiki. Thus, like the FAQ and the Using Gnucash links, it doesn't merit top

David, The confusion as to which document you were in I think is that the link text says ‘gnucash-guide’. There are also several references scattered on the website/wiki that refer to the ‘Help Guide’ though it appears the Documentation page calls it the ‘Help Manual’. That folder name I

OK. I have looked over this issue with an eye to clarifying the text, and I believe that the User Documentation section should be simplified. As currently written, as you all have noted, the User Documentation section includes different layers of content, presented at the same tier of coverage.
