David,

With some delay I have now replaced the contents of our wiki home page with 
your work. Thanks again!

Frank, 
Indeed, I am wrong. I apologize for the inaccurate noise.

You are confounding "Concept Guide draft" /Overview etc., which became
part of the docs [1], with [How to work on the] "Concept Guide" both by
former documenter BengtT from 2006 . The latter is linked and got
regular updates by the respective documenters.

Re: Time Frame on Wiki Edits

[David T. via gnucash-devel]

Adrien,

Thanks for the input.

If it were up to me, I would delete the wiki Concept Guide and all its related 
pages and references, but others in the community disagree with me on that. 
[Aside: I will note that this link—present on the Wiki main landing page—is a 
direct contradiction to Frank’s assertions that this outdated erroneous 
information is hidden to the general public.] 

As for the other two sections, it seems to me that we as a community need to 
have a clear sense of what we want to do with old discussions about features 
that may or may not have been implemented. I believe that the history can be 
useful, but the way it is integrated right now is troubling to me. The 
information gets into the wiki in current discussion form, and then never gets 
turned into historical narrative, making it seem as if discussions from 2002 
about what budgeting might be (in 2002) are actually current.

Re: Time Frame on Wiki Edits

[Adrien Monteleone]

David,

It seems the edits you committed took care of most of the spelling/grammatical 
errors I noticed. I fixed a remaining one in the External Documentation section.

Concerning content, do we still need to point to the three ‘particular 
enhancement’ discussions at the bottom of the page? If anything, perhaps they 
should be listed under Old Discussions since all three of them have been 
implemented and their pages are dated by several years to a decade. I’d also 
think the Concept Guide link should perhaps have more to do with Documentation 
than an application feature. Perhaps it should be under Developing 
Documentation, or even not on this page at all and linked from the Developing 
Documentation page.

Just a thought.

Regards,
Adrien

David et al,

Thanks a lot for working on this!

I have read through the page and have no remarks. I find it comfortable to 
read and well structured, so good to go live IMO.

As for replacing the original home page eventually, I suppose it's a matter of 
deleting the old one and moving the new one in place. These are wikimedia 
operations I presume reserved to the wiki admins. Unless @doncram has another 
proposal ?

Regards,

Geert

Thanks for the feedback. I’ve modified the page and incorporated most of your

fix them or point them out? My eyes aren’t what they used to be!

Re: Time Frame on Wiki Edits

[Adrien Monteleone]

I see a few typos and grammatical errors, so I wouldn’t say it’s ready for 
publication yet.

As for organization, perhaps change [Scripting and Programming] to [“Advanced” 
Usage] or [“Advanced” Usage - Scripting & Programming]

I’d expect to find the info on Logging and Stack Trace to be either under Help 
or Filing Bugs. You could then probably eliminate the odd sounding ‘Error 
Seaching’ (sic) heading.

Also the way [Getting Involved in the Project] reads, the rest of the material 
that follows should be nested under it, which might be odd. Perhaps just keep 
the sentence but remove that heading entirely. It doesn’t seem necessary. Or 
since all of those topics including developing code are "getting involved” 
replace the main heading—[Developing for GnuCash] with [Getting Involved in the 
Project] or something similar like [Contributing to GnuCash]. The other 
headings and text can remain as is.

Overall though, this is laid out much better than the current version.

-Adrien

Time Frame on Wiki Edits

[David T. via gnucash-devel]

Hello,

Two weeks ago, after a flurry of discussion in this list, I and Don (doncram) 
worked to put together a modified wiki landing page, which was placed as a 
sandbox page at https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/GnuCash/sandbox 
.

Since that time, there has been no further activity on any front, and although 
two weeks is not a very long time to let this season (as it were), I do wonder 
whether the Developer team has any sense of what amount of time constitutes 
“the right” amount of time for such a proposal to sit before the changes are 
sent live. I’d like to get the page pushed out before it gets lost in the mists 
of time…
