Re: [GNC-dev] Book advertised on help manual online
I'll add: perhaps leave the link up as it is still a somewhat useful resource, and if the publisher/author contact falls through, or they are not interested in an updated edition, a message can be added to the website 'seeking' a talented technical author to write a new book? Someone on the list mentioned doing video tutorials some time ago. Perhaps if there were an official YouTube (or other) channel as part of the Documentation, volunteers could craft and submit tutorials. I do understand that is an entirely different project, and of course, is not without moderation and maintenance work. The videos could also be hosted on gnucash.org instead.

Re: [GNC-dev] Book advertised on help manual online
I don't have a copy of the book, but most usually have a way to contact the author, and if not directly, then contacting the publisher would be the way to go.

Does anyone know Ashok Ramachandran or know how to contact him? For example he might be interested inproducing an updated edition for GnuCash 4.x for example? A new version could be written from scratch but it would probably make more sense to update the original. An Ashok Ramachandran (Australian citizen) was recently appointed CEO of Schindler India. I don't know if he is the same person however. ___ gnucash-devel mailing list gnucash-devel@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
