The GnuCash project is currently working towards the release of a new version 1.8.0 on Jan 5th 2003. We are approaching feature freeze and would like to request anyone interested in helping to write the documentation to email either myself (docs maintainer) or the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list.
The current documentation has undergone a major revision which discarded 90% of the old documentation. Much has been done so far to get the documentation ready for this release but a lot of work still needs to be done. We decided to separate the new documentation from the main gnucash cvs module into its own module gnucash-docs in order that people not wishing to download the documentation would not need to. This reduced the current gnucash download from 15MB to 5MB. The new documentation is further divided into a set of 'help' documentation specifically geared to explaining how to do tasks in GnuCash and a 'Tutorial and Concepts Guide' which is focused on taking the user through a tutorial explaining the main concepts behind GnuCash. The aim for the new documentation is for it to comply with the GNOME Documentation Style guide at http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gdp/styleguide.html and the GNOME Handbook of Writing Software Documentation at http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gdp/handbook.html I would like to ask also that anyone who would like to contribute by reviewing the documentation please contact me as well.
