I agree with Jon in that the help document in gnucash-docs should 
contain a FAQ section. However, this is no contradiction to having 
another FAQ document somewhere else, which might contain even more 
questions and/or questions which have not yet been sufficiently answered.

I just added some more FAQ and a section "Help needed from 
non-programmers" in the wiki page, 
http://gnomesupport.org/wiki/index.php/GnuCash . I especially wanted to 
write down the latter section because I thought these particular 
slashdot comments were really good and I didn't want to forget about them.

Jon, if you think some questions are more appropriately answered in the 
gnucash-docs document, you can even replace the wiki's Answer paragraph 
with a link saying "the answer is in gnucash-docs help [insert hyperlink 
here]".
