[GNC] Porting the Tutorial & Concepts Guide to ReadTheDocs.org

[David T.]

Adrien,

Given that the dev team has discussed documentation formats since at 
least 2013 (cf. https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=722016), I 
wouldn't expect a rapid transition to some other format just because 
someone comes up with a fancy new tool.

I’ll offer the perspective that while I’m not very chatty on this particular topic here on the list at the moment, I initially like the idea and I’ll look more into it for working on the documentation and as a user. But I can’t promise a flurry of testing or commentary on a specific time frame, with my 7000 irons in 30 fires. I’m sure I’m not the only one in that boat, odd as it may seem. I also have some previous GC ‘projects’ I’ve started that I’d like to finish before the 4.0 freeze, though they just involve some research and beta testing mostly.

I personally would like to see its development move to something with less of a hurdle or learning curve as that could include more seasoned users who aren’t build savvy.
