The stripped-down version looks good to me. Give it an account type like "Just a checking account", a description like "The minimal set of accounts needed to use GnuCash", and a detailed description like "Use this if you just want to balance your checkbook. Later on, you can start tracking income and expenses in more detail if you feel the need." I wouldn't want "Common Accounts" selected by default. When I started using GnuCash, I just wanted to balance my checkbook, and if I'd seen that long list, I'd have said "I'm supposed to track all that!!?", and run screaming back to my homebrew spreadsheet. _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gnucash.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
