I was trying to help out with a user's question about reconciling, and began to
look into making the help documentation clearer. I blithely loaded up the
Concepts Guide, and began to edit the text there on Reconciling. When I got a
ways into the edit, I decided to take a quick look at the Help manual, and
found another set of instructions about reconciling that much more closely
matched where I had gone with the explanation.
That was when it occurred to me to ask why Gnucash has two *separate* sets of
documentation for essentially the same purpose. I don't think it serves end
users to have two different places to look for answers to their questions, and
I don't think it helps developers/documenters either.
Looking at the two sets of documents, it is not clear which set would be
considered the "document of record," although in my experience the Concepts
Guide has tended to be clearer and better overall.
Could someone explain why there are the two documents, and would it be
advisable to combine them into one set of documentation?
Thanks,
David
