There is a core team of develpoers who wrtie the code and fix the bugs. their time is very limited. Some others help out by writing/updating docs, or add to the wiki and FAQ. others just answer on here if they have knowledge that fits. Anyone can report bugs, of course. There's a link somewhere on the GC website for $ donatinos, too, I think. > > Although, your solution is something that i have thought of, im wondering > how difficult would it be to add 1 more account type to the software that > made that account be ble to have any type under it. Similar to the top > level accounts. Jim's solution makes sense to me. Use the reports to report on what you need. GC is quite strict about being a "formal accounting" program, and I think you'll struggle to get developer support to make that change to account types. > > I was surprised to find that there is no user group for GnuCash.

GC has been around for a very long time, pretty much predating "social media", and this email group is still the formal way to ask user-level questions. All the archives exist and can be read, it may just be a slightly different way that you expected, and hard to search for a variety of reasons! I think the specific site: search trick has been killed by google, for example (but still works on duckduckgo). good luck!
