+<h3>Getting GnuCash as source code</h3>
+<p>If you want to compile GnuCash 2.7.1 for yourself, the source code can be downloaded from:</p>
+<ul>
+
+<li>Sourceforge: <a href="http://downloads.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/gnucash/gnucash-2.7.1.tar.bz2">bzip2</a>, <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnucash/files/gnucash%20(stable)/2.7.1/">all files</a>.</li>
+
+<li>Github: <a href="https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/releases/download/2.7.1/gnucash-2.7.1-1.tar.bz2">bzip</a> <b>WARNING</b> Do not try to use the github-generated files labelled "Source Code". They have not been processed with swig and will not build.</li>
+
+<li>You can also checkout the sources directly from the git repository as <a href="http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Git">described here.</a></li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>To compile GnuCash from the source code by yourself, you will need at least Gnome 2, Guile, and slib. In addition you will need swig if compiling from git. Please consult the README file in the sources for the exact list of dependencies and versions.</p>
+
+<h3>Getting the documentation</h3>

+the GNU General Public License (GPL) and available for GNU/Linux,
