[GNC] Fwd: GnuCash page FAQ has been changed by Flywire

[Geoff]

Hi David

[[ Before responding I took the time to read the 
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/FAQ from top to bottom. ]]

I understand the important role that reviewers like yourself play in 
keeping multi-author documents to a coherent readable whole.  I also 
understand your concern that the overall solution involves a 
spreadsheet, however I believe there is sufficient merit in this answer 
to retain it in the FAQ.  My reasons are:

(1) It is a well written and illustrated answer to a real world problem 
that multiple GunCash users face.

(2) To paraphrase John Donne, "no software package is an island" and 
spreadsheets are a natural complement to GnuCash and other accounting 
software packages.

(3) There is a whole section of the FAQ under "Accounting Questions" 
that is arguably "not really relevant to using GnuCash per se" as you 
put it, but it still adds value to the overall GnuCash ecosystem.

(4) It does no harm.

So, my vote is to retain it.

Regards

Geoff

P.S. THANK YOU Flywire for taking the time and making the effort to 
update the FAQ.  You have inspired me to try and do the same in 2022.

While the information is likely to be useful to some users, it's not really relevant to using gnucash, per se, and thus I don't think it belongs on the Gnucash FAQ. Given that users are advised to check the mailing lists as well as the wiki and manuals for guidance, I think that adding this to the wiki isn't really necessary.
