Hi,

Quoting Dave Herman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

Prompted by setting up simple account tree for testing and several questions here and on the user list, I started to review the GnuCash User Guide. While I am not a "tech writer", I could assist by updating some of the screen shots and adding some examples. I expect there are many others "readers" who could contribute examples or just FAQs with answers.

It, the User Guide does need to be updated, which raised a couple of what are probably very basic questions.

Indeed, the guide needs to get updated for the upcoming 2.0 release.

I am able to create an updated HTML User Guide by doing a make in the gnucash-doc-svn directory, how do I generate
the PDF files?

I'm afraid I don't know offhand.

Are the existing screen shots reasonably stable?

What do you mean by "reasonably stable?" I think we probably need a completely
new set of screen shots for the 2.0 release.

Is there a list of "standard" Names - GnuCash/GNUCash/GNUcash ? GnuCash seems to be most accepted correct ?

Yea, we should be using GnuCash.

How should updates be feedback ? svn -diff only resulted in errors. Would a tarball of a chapter and associated image fies
be the preferred method?

What kind of errors do you get?   It's "svn diff", not "svn -diff".  You
should send a diff, not whole files.

any suggestions or recommendations?

Please!  Go for it!

Dave

P.S. I started on the chapter on Investments (Chapter 8). Sales for gains & loss seem to be an issue.

I'm hoping Jon will pipe up soon...   But yes, please.. Help with docs!
