The FAQ <http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/FAQ> has a bit of cruft, and hasn't really gained a bunch of new items that we've seen with the 2.2 and even the 2.0 releases.
I sketched out a set of new FAQ entries. I'm looking for review of things I might have missed, as well, as help in generating the copy/text of the Answer. In some cases I've noted the dates of recent -user threads (see the archives at <http://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/>) that might be a good starting point for summarization. If you have a few minutes to help, please pick one and respond. Even better, please update the FAQ and just say that you've done so. :) - to add - Reply-To munging - Database backend/branch status. - Include history re: 1.8, PG backend, &c. - "I've lost my account tree page?!" - File > New > New Account Page - password protection of datafile? - mostly in <http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/FAQ#Q:_Is_it_possible_to_provide_security_for_GC_data_using_CFS.2C_etc..3F>, but no one is going to phrase their question that way... - The Register and CJK - summarize 18-Jul thread, and others. - "${something_bad} happened. :( How can I debug?" - run in terminal - console output - gnucash.trace (location difference between 'nix/osx and windows) - reordering accounts? - parent/child vs. sibling order - delays in transfer between accounts - summarize 06-Jul thread - HOWTO: "Class accounting" - summarize 02-Jul thread - HOWTO: VAT - this seems to be a permathread, and is already somewhat covered in the FAQ. - fix the "ISO stock" FAQ re: - say "private [stock]" and "options" somewhere - note specifically that you can type over the combobox to create new types like "private". - "Multiple bills with one Payment?" - Just use process payment. Applied in FIFO order. &c. - file extensions - .xac (though same as the backups), .gnucash, .gnc. - shared-mime-info registration - to remove - gnome2-related entries - (most) gnucash-1.8-related entries - to move - a bunch of §4 (Using GnuCash) questions should be in §7 (Accounting). -- ...jsled http://asynchronous.org/ - a=jsled; b=asynchronous.org; echo [EMAIL PROTECTED]
