Hello,

I am sending out this message to alert folks that I have implemented a 
substantial update to the Documentation Update Instructions wiki page 
(https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Documentation_Update_Instructions 
<https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Documentation_Update_Instructions>). 

In the past, I have noted the inconsistencies on this page, with one-time steps 
and OS-specific steps intermingled with repeated and generally-applicable ones. 
Most recently (last May), I identified several steps that I felt interrupted 
the procedure description and belonged elsewhere. In general, the page content 
is largely unchanged, although it has been rearranged substantially. I have 
attempted to offload some subjects to new pages, and cross-referenced other 
existing pages on the wiki (most notably the Git page). 

It is my hope that the rearrangement makes more sense for documentation 
contributors.

Highlights of the changes:

* I have moved information about Git from this page and added references 
pointing to https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Git 
<https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Git>, 
* I removed some basic information about setting up a Bugzilla account, and 
moved other information about Bugzilla and added references pointing to 
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Bugzilla <https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Bugzilla>.
* I have moved information about setting up a build environment and added 
references pointing to 
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Initializing_Documentation_Build_Environment 
<https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Initializing_Documentation_Build_Environment>
* I have moved information about creating a patch to 
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Preparing_A_Documentation_Patch 
<https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Preparing_A_Documentation_Patch>, and added a 
reference to https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Git#Pull_Requests 
<https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Git#Pull_Requests>.

I honestly hope that these changes are considered useful. I apologize for 
embedding such a lot of changes into one commit, but I didn’t see any easy way 
to stage it in smaller chunks.

David
