In combination with making the T&CG glossary sentence a part the Official documentation paragraph, I think the second sentence should be moved down to the Developer Documentation paragraph.
Also, the following line needs a number correction: "The Documentation page on the gnucash.org website also contains ~~this~~ _these_ documents in” I’d do either myself, but I see the main page is above my pay grade.
