For the record, I'm also against this popup, but for a different reason. The FAQ is an overwhelming never-shrinking aggregation of items that would be better placed in other documentation. Including it on a monthly basis would not really benefit a new user with a specific problem. When I go to the FAQ, I am usually forced to do a find in the page to locate anything.
On a side rant, the fact that every year there is a spate of new users asking the same set of questions that are covered extensively in some form of the documentation underscores a disconnect that the community hasn't worked out. For whatever reason, the disconnect between how Gnucash is viewed by the outside world and how it actually works seems to cause a significant range of new user difficulties. David T.
