| − | == Available Documentation ==
| + | :Content copied into [[GnuCash/sandbox]] instead. There was suggested material for several sections of the mainpage. Sorry if this is confusing. The point is to have a full version of the proposed GnuCash mainpage, not just a partial version. I am editing what was here into a full version of the mainpage, at [[GnuCash/sandbox]]. If/when an administrator agrees that the sandbox version is better, they can copy-paste the entire thing into the mainpage. --[[User:Doncram|Doncram]] ([[User talk:Doncram|talk]]) 16:17, 29 May 2017 (UTC) |
