+<b>Announcement:</b> Gnucash-htdocs Repository Will Be Regenerated Next Week
+2014-02-03
+
+<h2>Gnucash-htdocs Repository Will Be Regenerated Next Week</h2>
+
+<p>The gnucash-htdocs repository is growing rather large fairly rapidly.
+This turns out to be due to the compiled docs that are included in it.
+To remedy this we will move the compiled documentation into its own
+repository and rebuild the gnucash-htdocs repository without the
+compiled docs. This will reduce the repository from over 800Mb to
+less than 30Mb.</p>
+
+<p>At the same time we will also deprecate the use of the "trunk"
+branch as main branch in that repository and instead use the "master"
+branch which is a more common habit in the git world.</p>
+
+<p>The side effect is that existing clones of gnucash-htdocs will
+no longer match with the history in the new gnucash-htdocs.
+<em>If you have a clone or fork of the
+current repository you will need to delete it and re-clone from the
+new one. </em> If you have local branches which you want to transfer
+to the new repository, it's fairly easy, and instructions have already
+been added to <a
+href="http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Git#Conversion_Notice">the
+Gnucash-Git Wiki page</a>. <em>You can make the process much easier by
+keeping your clone/fork current with the base repository this week.</em></p>
+
+<p><em>Timing:</em>the rebuild is planned for next Thursday, February 13th
+around 6-8am PT (9-11am ET, 2-4pm UTC). During that time the gnucash-htdocs
+repos on both code.gnucash.org and github.com will be unstable. So avoid
+that time frame to push or pull any changes.</p>
+
+<h3>About the Program</h3> <p>GnuCash is a free, open source
+accounting program released under the GNU General Public License (GPL)
+and available for GNU/Linux, *BSD, Solaris, Mac OSX and Microsoft
+Windows.  Programming on GnuCash began in 1997, and its first stable
+release was in 1998.</p>
