Hello Chris, I am definitely interested into such gnucash data set of books/accounts/etc for testing piecash (reports, performance,.. ). With the transition to gnucash 3 coming to maturity, I planned to convert/rework the existing set of sample books ( https://github.com/sdementen/piecash/tree/master/gnucash_books) so if you have something that may be useful in this respect... Did you already share something on GitHub?
