David Agreed the Guide is the place Reconciliation process discussion apart from the button by button type description of the interface which should be in the help.
I noticed you referenced Ch4 as Accounts. In the V3 guide at present Ch3 is Accounts and the succeeding chapters deal with detail within Accounts with Ch 4 being transactions. Is this how it will appear in the reorganization of the guide.? I will check it out in the master on Github. Perhaps a start would be to try and consolidate the process descriptions in one place. I like the use of a concrete example in the Check Book discussion with numbers as it gives people a better handle to relate to there own use. I will have a go at trying to shift the Window descriptions into 5.8 in the help and move the process-example descriptions there into the guide. I have followed a bit of the discussion around transalations. I'll review it to see if there is any way of minimising the disruption. While it is perhaps a short term consideration, longer term I feel it is also important to structure the help and guide to minimize information duplication, simplify maintenance (including translation), and improve accessibility to the information. I've had a look at Geert's wiki page on the experiment using itstool for the documentation but really couldn't glean enough. It seems to be oriented more towards translating short strings which works for the program and may work better for the help than the guide which will tend to have more prose. The other factor is examples. I guess one could run GnuCash with the appropriate locale setting but that will not change account names etc into another language only the interface I am not underestimating the work and effort involved. I have some reservations about embarking on it but nothing ventured nothing gained. I am not planning on rushing into it but perhaps doing it in a series of small moves to get the overall structure in place first, then trying to get the coherent narrative out of it. Is there any documentation on the planned changes in structure to the guide available or an outline for where it is headed?
