See Documentation Update Instructions for more on this subject. Write task oriented new parts When you were a beginner you missed a tutorial or how-to about. Fill the gaps Inserting the content of existing wiki pages. Review the current docs for issues Fix typos, add links. The docs are currently written in DocBook, a semantic markup language for technical documentation. With autoconfirmed status you may create your own user page and user Talk page. Wiki users who have edited in Wikipedia will find that the editing environment is similar. Search the Add-ons page of your browser for these. You can add Wikipedia editing extensions to your browser to make editing easier. Note that the GnuCash main page is specially protected, and only by wiki Administrators can edit this page.Īn emailconfirmed account will automatically convert to autoconfirmed status after 7 days, which will allow you to create new pages. You can verify your status under your account Preferences, where you should see your membership in emailconfirmed group.

To get that, click on "Preferences", see your "User profile", and select the option to confirm your email, which sends an email to your personal email account. To edit pages, you need emailconfirmed status. At first you will have just minimal user rights which only grants enhanced reading ability. You should be able to log into the Wiki and change your password. Once your account is approved, you will receive an email with a temporary password. If you've been contributing on the mailing list mention that with your email address (the request form isn't public, only wiki admins can see what you enter). General descriptions of your skills aren't useful and will be ignored. Fill out the request form and explain in the "Reason" box exactly what you want to change and why. Don't bother requesting an account until you see something you want to change. The request process is human-moderated and you must convince the human that you're not a spammer or a robot. And while you're at it, everyone learns! As you probably have noticed, you are looking at such a wiki right now.Ĭontributors must request an account in order to work on the wiki. Updating the wiki is easly done while docs require slight more skills. The project maintains at least 2 different types of documentation: Running tutorials, presentations at local LUGs can be invaluable for getting a larger user base. Share your experience with your friends and in social media. GnuCash offers numerous ways to provide feedback: the Mailing Lists, Bugzilla, and Enhancement requests. Providing feedback on what features are used, and what aren't is important to developers who may spend a lot of time on a feature they think is important instead of a feature that actually is important.

Programmers should feel free to add plenty of unit tests (see Testing) as well.
A programmer will usually only be able to fix a bug they can see if you can't make the programmer see your bug, it won't get fixed! If you find a real reproducible bug, check with Bugzilla to make sure the developers know about it.
#GNUCASH ADD ONS HOW TO#
The trick here is to learn how to give the best information to the programmers about how to reproduce bugs. Programmers can be fine testers, but non-programmers seem to be able to break programs in new and mysterious ways. While you are using the program, you are also testing it. After some time of watching and asking about the usage of GnuCash you can share your knowledge with newcomers. Participate in the discussions on your locale user Mailing Lists.1.4.1.1 Getting started on the GnuCash Wiki.
