On a second note, on http://www.gnucash.org/docs.phtml, I would suggest moving the entire section on the Documentation Project to another page. I don't think that most people initially looking for Documentation are that interested in this aspect of things. Moving this to another page and putting a link as the last sentence of the first main section would be more appropriate, I think.
Something like: Gnucash's documentation has been created by its community. Look at [link]Documentation Development[/link] if you want to help with this! ----- Original Message ----- From: Donald Allen <donaldcal...@gmail.com> To: David T. <sunfis...@yahoo.com> Cc: Cristian Marchi <cr...@libero.it>; Wm Tarr <wm.t...@gmail.com>; "gnucash-devel@gnucash.org" <gnucash-devel@gnucash.org> Sent: Sunday, September 25, 2011 1:58 PM Subject: Re: Restyled GnuCash website is online On Sun, Sep 25, 2011 at 4:49 PM, David T. <sunfis...@yahoo.com> wrote: > That's an improvement, for sure, although I might quibble with the locution > "This page will try to..." since the page can't technically "do" anything. > > > I'd go for: > > Below are details of some of the numerous features that GnuCash has to offer > to > its users.
