I was in Barnes and Noble a few weeks ago and was looking at a book on digital photo editing that used GIMP (Beginning GIMP: From Novice to Professional (Beginning from Novice to Professional) by Akkana Peck) and it is very good. The first time I have ever considered using GIMP. Now that there is a Windows version of gnuCash, there are a lot more potential users. A book in B-N may be just what is needed to get people interested. That said, a book is a l o t of work, but maybe Apress (the above book publisher) could help if they felt the market is there. Just my 2 cents.

PDF of documentation
Would it be possible to take the existing documentation and offer it in a pdf file? Also, does anyone know if a book on gnuCash is in the future?

There's a PDF of the 1.8 documentation available at http://www.gnucash.org/docs.phtml. The overall content hasn't changed all that much for 2.0 (or 2.2), so it's still quite useful. I've added support for 'make pdf' target to the gnucash-docs build files, and while it basically generates a PDF, it looks horrible ... I wouldn't want to distribute it. It'd be great if someone could figure out the incantations to turn docbook into good-looking PDF and contribute them, ideally as a patch against the docs of http://svn.gnucash.org/repo/gnucash-docs/trunk/. Also, does anyone know if a book on gnuCash is in the future? The Tutorial and Concepts Guide started off as a book, as I understand it. I've not heard any plans like those recently. -- ...jsled http://asynchronous.org/ - a=jsled; b=asynchronous.org; echo [EMAIL PROTECTED] pgpplk4X3bFB2.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ gnucash-devel mailing list gnucash-devel@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
