Re: Was Re: COGS incorrect when invoices are reposted - now on Docs

["Chris Travers" <..hidden..>]

Documentation is always appreciated.  Of course, we are in the process
always of trying to take what we have and expand upon it.   I think we
a good infrastructure for maintaining this as a community and this
hasn't been built yet.   But I don't think we should wait either.

The first thing to do is learn how to use the software.  The user
manual in the doc file is probably the best place to start.  If there
is any editing you wish to do, you can send your comments to the list,
and if you want to edit that document, you can use LyX.  However, it
was really designed to be training material and not help per se (which
is what we really need at the moment).

One thing that would really help would be if someone were to document
the interface so we could use this as the basis of a contextual help
system.  Ideally, this should be in XHTML format if you have a decent
editor, but I am willing to take what I can and edit it in if
necessary.

Of course, if you see something else that needs work, feel free to volunteer :-)

Best Wishes,
Chris Travers

Thanks for your offer
