Believe it or not, the very LAST document to be written in the Beancount opus is the intro to the double-entry method one. This is where that stuff belongs.
How's that for procrastination. Do everything else but the beginning. *Patting myself on the back with a meme-like irony* http://cdn.meme.am/instances2/500x/4190245.jpg It's linked from my docs index as http://furius.ca/beancount/doc/double-entry And I've done three false starts on it, so there's a 15-page mess of notes there. Brilliant. Maybe I should cut-n-paste that email in it too. For now. And then get my sh*t together and actually finish it, so I can call the docs "finished." That might feel good.
