I would like to see some of the specific details that have been referenced recently in this thread recorded in the FAQ for easy reference. A few of the particular items include:
1. Interoperability between major releases: The FAQ is not specific about whether the 2.6.21 release is able to read all XML files that have been touched by releases between 3.0 and 3.11. Looking further back, where are the comparable demarcations between various important 2.x releases. When were the key versions released? 2. Are there similar version issues for the database file formats? 3. Document how to segregate old backups by which version would be needed to open them along with recommendations on local long term storage of old GnuCash releases that may be needed as long as backups are expected to be readable. Is there some way to detect which version would be required to read a given backup? 4. Regarding the various data synchronization issues that arise between multiple instances of GnuCash, I would like to see a summary of the generic types of data synchronization, including a short list of advantages and disadvantages of each. Since that is an issue left for the user to implement only minimal guidance would be needed. I am hoping that someone with more time than I have available would like to take up this project. If you are the one, thanks in advance.
