Hmm. Let me see if I understand this correctly. You’re saying that I could make edits on my own forked copy of gnucash-docs, save those changes, and get them to the official gnucash-docs *all from the github website*?
*If* I understand it correctly, then this would be a big improvement from my perspective. After all, I’ve never objected to adding the obscure codes; it’s always been getting the changes in. It does sound promising, but I hesitate to take it on, simply because at this point, I am a trained hamster who knows how to get a result in one way and one way only. I will look for a simple doc update to try it out on; that way, when I miraculously find the one way to screw it up, it won’t be difficult to remove.
