Looks good to me. And thank you working on improving oor documentation.

Thanks for the input. My comment on the bug reinforces your ideas presented
here. Although I would put the chapter on Transactions first, simply because
understanding that is fundamental to all the rest. Budgets and Multiple
Currencies would go after, since they are optional for many users.
Restructuring as you suggest would, I believe, require a more substantial
framework. I would want that framework to be more clearly delineated in the
overall document structure, so that readers would see that the chapters are
definitely using the equation as their overarching structure. I'm not sure how
that would most effectively be achieved. Would we create new top-level
chapters, and embed the existing chapters in these new chapters? That might be
the best.
Perhaps we would end up with a chapter structure like this:
1. Overview
2. The Basics
2.1 Accounts
2.2 Transactions
3. Asset Accounts
3.1 Checking Accounts
3.2 Investments
3.3 Other Assets
4. Liability Accounts
4.1 Credit Cards
4.2 Loans
4.3 Other Liabilities [to parallel 3.3]
5. Equity Accounts
[mumble]
6. Income Accounts
6.1 [mumble]
6.2 Capital Gains
6.3 Other Income Accounts
7. Expense Accounts
[mumble]
8. Multiple Currencies
9. Budgets
10. Business Features
10.1 A/R
10.2 A/P
10.3 Payroll
11. Extending Gnucash
11.1 Custom Reports
11.2 Python Extensions

I have just put an initial draft chapter for the Tutorial on Bugzilla in the
referenced bug, to cover expense accounts.
I welcome suggestions for correction!

I have added a couple of comments to bug 697290.
These are my thoughts. I think that expenses do deserve an entire
chapter. However, I would structure existing chapters five through
nine, sixteen and expenses to fit into the framework suggested by
chapter two's reference to the five basic account types. This would
mean that chapters on asset account topics (Checkbook, Investments and
Other Assets) be grouped together, liability account topics (Credit
Cards and Loans) together, Income (Capital Gains) as a unit and Expenses
as a unit. Transactions, Budgets and Multiple Currencies apply to all
account types, and should be after the account type sections.
Business topics should be separate as they are now.
