Re: GnuCash for Android with double entry accounting
First issue, when creating an account and trying to set the name, the virtual keyboard doesn't turn up. I have to press in the menu button (of the phone) and then the back button (on the phone) and then again press in the textbox of the account name, then the virtual keyboard appears.

Re: Longer term projects
Phil, Did you ever get around looking into an improved preferences system ? At the time we discussed future projects, GSettings was not an option because we couldn't depend on glib 2.26. Meanwhile our base requirements have bumped anyway to gtk 2.24 (which implies at least glib 2.26), so now we're free to use GSettings in trunk. I bring this up again because lately we seem to get more and more Windows users having problems storing their preferences based on the old gconf setup.

I added a comment to the Bz.
In short, it's a single Predicate, so you need to group it as:
Reconcile { is | is not } { N, C, Y, ... }

Thank you. That clarifies it. I'll write up the behavior and add it to the
manual.

Please do not call it a "forum". No, I think Yawar has a valid point here. The term "mailing list" to a non- tech user does not sound like some place where discussions are being held.

My specific suggestion was to include the word "email", and not use the phrase "mailing list".

Well, to my mind, a `forum' means someplace where people can have asynchronous discussions. A phpBB site would qualify, as would Bugzilla, StackOverflow, and obviously an email mailing list. But let's stick with convention for a bit. I just realised that people visiting a FOSS website will often look for the words `mailing list'--sometimes they may just press Ctrl-F and let the browser do the search for them. And in fact, there may be automated tools out there which look for `mailing list' too. So it would be good to leave that link title as it is in the side panel. What I did like was John's idea of having a prominent `Need Help?' section right on the front page, `above the fold' as they say in web design speak. I guess that would put it above the News section. This would tell the reader to send an email/subscribe to gnucash-user. I can put together a patch probably this weekend to try it out--if nobody beats me to it.
