[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] Wiki FAQ Page

Hello, I am digging in to the FAQ page with an eye to rationalizing the accumulated mess. My hope is to make it easier for uers to find answers to their questions. Currently, the structure of the page does not accurately reflect the content of the questions. For example, the section

[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

Re: [GNC-dev] [Gnucash/gnucash-docs] Adding reconciliation to glossary (#110)

Thanks for the hand-holding… Round 3. It looks like this one is on the right branch… Now, as for whether this process is easier than the older way, I am not entirely convinced. The elimination of the extra layer of maintaining the local repository and development platform is likely to make the

Re: [GNC-dev] [Gnucash/gnucash-docs] Adding reconciliation to glossary (#110)

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

[GNC-dev] Documentation Version Display

Hello, Today, I had the opportunity to examine the online Help text, where I saw detailed information about the Transaction Report, which has recently changed radically. The information provided on the online Help clearly references the new version of this report, which I surmise because I am
