There is a core team of develpoers who wrtie the code and fix the bugs.  their 
time is very limited.  Some others help out by writing/updating docs, or add 
to the wiki and FAQ.  others just answer on here if they have knowledge that 
fits.  Anyone can report bugs, of course.  There's a link somewhere on the GC 
website for $ donatinos, too, I think.

Jim's solution makes sense to me.  Use the reports to report on what you need.  
GC is quite strict about being a "formal accounting" program, and I think 
you'll struggle to get developer support to make that change to account types.

This email list is the "user group".  GC has been around for a very long time, 
pretty much predating "social media", and this email group is still the formal 
way to ask user-level questions.  All the archives exist and can be read, it 
may just be a slightly different way that you expected, and hard to search for 
a variety of reasons!  I think the specific site: search trick has been killed 
by google, for example (but still works on duckduckgo).



good luck!
Maf.
