Hello,
As I begin the process of migrating text from the Help to the Guide (cf. Bug
796855), I am working on the Help information regarding the New Account
Hierarchy Setup (NAHS) assistant, and I have a couple of questions about the
second screen of the assistant, the “New Book Options” screen.
Hello,
sorry I send the E-Mail not to the list.

As someone who has helped other people get started using GnuCash (and
remembering my own first steps) I agree completely with these points. Those
book preferences are not self explanatory. (perhaps bugs in their own right) A
new user is left to either trust the defaults and move on, pause and re

David,
Maybe the place to discuss these settings *is* right up front when explaining
the setup? (though I agree, the assistant itself should walk the user through
the selection with more information)

Well, on that
Hello,
what is the problem of a program to have functions than you use.
If you look into the German translation i use all functions that are
translated and some few more which have up to now no ducumentation and I
have no time to do it.
So we should first document functions wehre the documentat
Mechtilde,
I think there are some misunderstandings here.

Hello,
I’d like to start by noting that this assistant is possibly one of the very
first things a new user will encounter when they start GnuCash for the very
first time, and it is this user upon which I am most focused.

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 begi

Adrien,
While I agree with the concept David T is proposing to streamline the process
for new users and the thrust of your
comments about the new user experience, the new account heirarchy at least as
it is currently implemented, will be used
by anyone creating a new set of books, whether they a

David,
when I talk in this thread about "traditional" or "standard" I mean
the "Venetian Method" as first published by Fra. Pacioli
with ink on paper
probably in roman numbers (without zero or minus)
