Yes, you are not unwatched there. ;-)

Just a few notes:

In most cases, I would link GnuCash to the wiki instead of the website,
because it is easier to maintain and usually more recent.

"Project Design” is long enough, if nobody has a better word for
"Project" here - "Design" alone could be interpreted "of website",
"...GUI", ....

For some parts of your index might be already more recent pages in the
http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/GnuCash#Getting_involved_in_the_project
section.

Regards
Frank
