This weekend I have spent some time to reorganize our wiki pages for
Windows. We had two pages:
http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Windows
http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Windows/Development
(There is actually a third one
http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Windows/Old_Notes
but that is only kept for reference).
The names of the wiki pages would suggest one is directed at people
interested in developing GnuCash on Windows, while the other then
logically should be targeting Windows users. Unfortunately that was not
the case at all. The former (Windows) was a mixture of information for
ordinary users and developers, while the latter (Windows/Development)
only added one useful tip for developers.
So I set out and rearranged these pages. "Windows" now collects
information useful for an ordinary user (where's the installer, how to
install FQ, where to find the trace file, which is usually requested
when asking for help, common issues,...).
Windows/Development now collects everything that is useful to the
potential developer on the Windows platform (how to set up the build
environment, common issues encountered when building,...)
User issues that are only affecting older versions of GnuCash (older
than current stable and unstable) have been moved to a separate page and
are kept for reference only:
http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Windows/Old_Issues
This page is linked to from the Windows page.
The http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Windows/Old_Notes page is kept as well
as a reference for old development issues. This page is linked to from
the Windows/Development page.
I hope this will make it a little easier for GnuCash users on Windows to
find useful information specific to their platform.
And as it's a wiki, please feel free to improve on my work !
