Fw: Wishlist for GC Windows XP - update, share value, share statistics

[Norman Yeh]

Forwarding to the user list in case other internet-illiterates find it useful for Wiki and Bugzilla entries.

Thanks again, Daniel, and have a great weekend!

Hi, Norman.

This is a great way to learn: doing youself!

For the WIKI:
Go to http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/WishList and click in "Log in / create account" in the upper right corner.

Once you have an account, click on the Edit tab (it´s the 3rd tab from left to right) and feel free to add anything to the wishlist page.

You can edit any page of the wiki just this way.

For the Bugzilla:

Go to http://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=GnuCash (you can reach this via the wiki, too) and create an account.

Once you have an account created, login and fill the form for "enter bug". It´s not a bug, we know, but you can file a request too: just put "Enhancement" in the "Severity" field.

Remember to explain very very verbosely what you want. Be even redundant. A good practice is show your idea in the user list, gather some more info (and maybe more ideas that could improve yours) and then file the enhancement request in bugzilla.

If any doubt, just ask.

  Hi Daniel,

  Where and how do I do Wiki and Bugzilla? I am NOT "internet-literate" and will need detailed instructions. Thanks!

  It would be great if you could enter this in the wishlist page on the Wiki, and file them as requests in Bugzilla.

  Cheers,

    Dear GC Experts and Developers,

    I am NO accountant and NO programmer, and use GnuCash (GC) under Windows XP with SP3 for personal finances. As GC is quickly evolving into a stable 2.4, I would like to request the following features.

    1. a "smart update" function that retrieves and installs patches for GC and ALL of the critical components for currency conversions and security quotes (ie for bonds, stocks, mutual funds, etc)

    2. a clear listing of per-share value retrieved for each security asset/investment account in addtion to the total value per account that is currently shown

    3. a graph and report function that shows the growth or decline of my various assets/investments by asset account and in total asset value, whether by day, by month, by quarter or by year at my choice

    Thank you and best wishes to all of you in the USA for a great Labor Day holiday!

    Norman
