Hi all,

I think, most of this thread should have been written at other places:
gnucash-devel, bugzilla, wiki. Because I am already on gnucash-de,
gnucash-devel, ... I am  scanning gnucash-user only for specific keywords.

This is a valid point for this list. Let's try to explain my imagination
how information should be conserved and distributed, ordered by persistence:

A. IRC: short questions about understanding and coordination of
developer/maintainer tasks. Searching in logs is painful.

B. Mailing lists: broader audience, complexer questions. Searching
archivesis only slightly easier.

C. Wiki: it offers links, categories and a search tool.
1. FAQ: If you watch the same question several times on the mailing
list, you should create an entry there.

2. dedicated pages: If you see 2 or more Questions about the same theme
in the FAQ, create a dedicated page and leave only links in the answer
sections of the FAQ. Improve accessibility by adding categories and
links in related pages.

D. Gnucash-docs:
1. Help: should contain the techical reference, ideally written by the
coders: GUI element X has the purpose Y, depends on Z and influences A.

2. Tutorial and Guide: should contain the fundamentals of accounting
with Gnucash and cooking recipes for almost every task. After a
dedicated wiki page levelled off, The contend should move into this
part. First candidates would be the onlinebanking setup (common Paypal &
EBICS, en: directOFX, de: FinTS).

With the exception of D. no special knowledge is required. We are
awaiting your contributions. ;-)
