Thank you Derek,
This improves my understanding of the current situation considerably.
Certainly as I noted, I have no issue using the present methods.
Thank you for taking the time to explain this.

Yes, really. And it's more than just PDF. We currently build the docs
into HTML, PDF, Mobi, and at least one other format. There are no

There's no good way to translate from Wiki to PDF
Really? PDF can handle hard links within a document. Reference books with
linearly organized chapters and cross-references have been around since
before the Bible. Understandably, the wiki is spineless and completely
semantic in the way its pages

Thanks for replies. I had previously confirmed my email, but I tried again
now and it works, and I made a first edit at the page named "Concept Guide"
to clarify that the page is to be about development of the GnuCash Tutorial

What's so complicated about a git checkout and using the appropriate

Personally, I think this would be mostly solved by switching to TeXInfo,

So, apparently, there is a decision-making process in place. I’m not sure how
it might be improved, since this is quite literally the first I have heard
about it.

Frank,
I don't know what you mean by "ninja status", and I don't particularly care,
but I do know that without some mechanism for resolving disagreements on
content, a wiki doesn't really function well, since it leaves the resolution of
such disagreements to the person who is willing to push h
David,
I am really sorry, but you and 2 other authors got by accident a
ninja-like status for a few month in the wiki. So your changes did not
appear on

given you earlier some advice, were we thought your changes might have

Hello,
Once again, the documentation bug has bit me, and I am trying to use the

Most recently, this toolset has been changed to use “make”, and when I attempt
to refresh my memory by going to the wiki page, I fail to find an explanat
