Hello,

I am sending this message as a heads up that I am preparing a PR for bug 
796855, which seeks to pull content from the Help Manual Chapter 3 and put it 
into the Guide in Chapter 2. 

In the course of doing this, a number of other changes were called for, such 
that I needed to add the beginnings of two new proposed chapters to the Guide: 
Importing Data (as suggested in bug 303164), and Configuring GnuCash (which 
ultimately will come from Help Chapter 10). 

Adding these chapters necessitated my editing gnucash-guide.xml to include 
these new chapters, and since I was tinkering with the overall structure of the 
Getting Started section of the Guide, I chose to incorporate the chapters on 
Accounts and Transactions into the Basics chapter, as proposed in bug 687820. 

<aside>I tried to retain ch_accts.xml and ch_txns.xml in gnucash-guide.xml and 
simply edit the three files so that they became parts of a single chapter, but 
this resulted in mysterious “Failure to process entity chapter2” errors that I 
was entirely unable to edit away, except by copying the content of those two 
files directly into ch_basics.xml. So much for the “Use separate files and link 
them in docbook” approach.</aside>

Anyway, the PR has gotten entirely beyond my git skill set—meaning that, no 
matter what I do next, I will mess it up. My PR will have two new files to add 
to the repo, and ideally should have two files to remove from the repo, and I 
am unsure how to account for either circumstance.

Advice?

David
