First of all Dave thanks a lot for doing this. If you want to submit
updates to the docs you can email them to me and I'll commit them to svn.

I have a archive of my changes to the Concept/User Guide for GnuCash
Chapter 8 (Investments). I've updated the screenshots, installed the
comments in the BZ reports that I've seen and modified some of the
grammar/spelling (also probably inserted some errors of mine).
The archive contains the new screenshots images, a DIFF between new XML
and the XML from 1.8.5 (the latest doc I found), and the new
"ch_invest.xml".
Suggestions on where to place this archive (1.2M) are needed, as are
reviewers.
This is a draft for comments/suggestions.
Observations from working on the update;
1) There appears to be inconsistencies in screen names and enter forms
using "commodity" and "security". Working through creating new security
account (Guide 8.4.2) brings up a screen (New Account) to select
commodity, then a screen labeled "Select Security", then a screen "New
Commodity".
This should probably be submitted as a bug to be fixed before release
with more appropriate names.
Should these terms be combined "Commodity/Security", defined, or
ignored? Do you really track Commodities as "Corn, Wheat, ...)?
2) What is the proper term for the "mark" next to the account name that
signifies that there are sub-accounts present?
I usually just refer to this as a '+' or plus symbol in the docs.
Chris
