I just went and looked at the Wiki, to get an idea of what the task is. I'm all for Wikis containing everything, as long as it is clearly identified and organized. Currently, I agree that the Wiki doesn't meet that standard. Even the front page is a "mixed bag" of content, and could/should be

But in the message to be translated, 10% and 32px are not English, they are CSS. Translating them as if they were English would give the wrong result -- you can't, in a Chinese-translated version, enter 10百分 into the text box specified and have it work right; it has to be 10%. The same goes with

Github repo

Is https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash the proper repo to fork if I want to do work on Gnucash development? I'd like to develop some command-line utilities that use the Gnucash API to manipulate Gnucash files. If that works, I'd like to contribute them back to Gnucash.

Paul, As should be clear from the other responses, there's no clear if you work in C/C++, then this is the IDE you should use. Both languages have been around for a very long time (C since the early 1970's, C++ since the mid 1980's), and have been used across a large number of different
