Hi Guys,

Just in case you have not been reading/following the development of
GnuCash.

Not to long into the future (mid May actually) they are planning to
release GnuCash 2.0. Of course, it would be very nice if we also had an
updated Concept guide, and Manual.

Towards this end, I created a small wiki page for the concept guide,
where we can collect thoughts, ideas, and indications of what is
lacking.
http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Concept_Guide (Please check the wiki, and
feel free to update it with items I have missed.)

We would really appreciate more comments on what is missing in the
various documents, as well as suggestions on how to improve that
(accounting samples?).

Anyone that would like to take a more direct approach, please indicate
this on the gnucash-devel list, so we can co-ordinate the efforts.

To summarize:
If you have any
* comments on faults
* missing areas
* areas that need improvement / clarifications

then please do one or more of the following (the more the better :) )
* Indicate the problem on bugzilla, and/or gnucash-devel
* Come with a accounting sample which would clarify/explain the issue
* Come with text that accompanies the example
* Come with docbook ready text....

If you want to handle a bit more, please let us know (gnucash-devel),
and feel free to work on any chapter that is not indicated being worked
on in the http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Concept_Guide Do remember to
indicate it on the Wiki though.

It would be possible to work on the raw text (no formatting, no
pictures) directly in the wiki (under concept guide somewhere). But we
have to move the text to docbook format later, since that will be the
original format.
