I have looked at that; unfortunately, I don’t get very far before I lose touch with reality. Like, chapter 2.3 or so. The documentation is, as you say, well-written, but I think the trouble arises in that the book of necessity takes things from a very simple perspective, whereas everything in the Gnucash development realm is far far more complex. I will say that this time around, a few things in the Gitrealm don’t seem quite as foreign to me, so there may still be hope for me.
