So, apparently, there is a decision-making process in place. I’m not sure how it might be improved, since this is quite literally the first I have heard about it. Since you seem to be one of the folks in charge of the decisions on the wiki, perhaps *you* might consider how to improve the

Some Assistance Please

Hello, Once again, the documentation bug has bit me, and I am trying to use the accepted GnuCash toolset to implement a change to the Guide. Most recently, this toolset has been changed to use “make”, and when I attempt to refresh my memory by going to the wiki page, I fail to find an

Re: Intended behavior of automatic decimal point (bug 120940)

According to Wikipedia, there is no single format predominant. The green areas in the picture below use commas, while the blue use a period. If the picture doesn’t make it through, Europe, West Africa and South America predominantly use commas, whereas The US, UK, East/Southern Africa, India,

Re: GnuCash page Git has been changed by Sunfish62

Frank, I beg to differ about reverting your edits. I have never knowingly reverted any of your edits. (I have had you revert mine, however) It is true that I have changed things you’ve written, to improve their English grammar and readability. I wouldn’t believe that such changes would

Re: Gnucash wiki

Templates do sound like an improvement, although I would be concerned with some of these huge wiki pages (like the Documentation Update Instructions page) that the box will be at the top, and someone will link into the page such that the box wouldn’t show. If you set up the templates or

Wiki Landing Page

I would like to propose substantial changes to the Wiki landing page (https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/GnuCash ), a page I can’t edit. I apologize in advance for the length and complexity of this email, but that’s the price to pay for control. For ease of

Re: Some history of wikis: was: lots

Frank, I strongly believe that having outdated, unmaintained—and ultimately WRONG—information available to the casual user is the wrong approach to take. How an English translation of a German draft of the English Guide got onto the main GnuCash wiki (in English) in the first place is
