Yes, please do. Carl can help you get started as a Frog; we
desperately need more people writing patches for such problems.
Perfect, where do I begin? I already know exactly what to change
and
where.
Please look at the Contributor's Guide in the docs. From the
main doc page
choose Developer's Resources, then you'll see the Contributor's
Guide.
The best way to get started (although it's not the easiest) is to
install
git and pull a copy of the repository from Savannah. Then you
can make the
changes and create a patch. The Contributor's Guide describes
how to do it.
I've gotten this far, and everything is fine.
If I understand this correctly, you're proposing to make changes
to the
docs, rather than the code. Is that right? If so, you should
submit your
patch to Trevor Daniels, rather than to me.
Correct, will do.
Please let me know if you have further questions.
I don't know where to find the files that I would use to make the
change. The Producing a patch and Documentation policy didn't help
much in this regard. Is there somewhere that explains what the
files are? I have the Documentation, and I imagine that what I
need is somewhere in the user folder, but I'd hoped for a
structure that would have the learning manual and then the
various sections of the learning manual, so I can make the
change. Regardless of how it's organized, I just don't see where
to find section 2.3.5 of the Learning Manual. Help?
The source code of the LM is all in the
Documentation/user directory. The file names are
roughly the same as the chapter or section names in
the manual, so you'll find 2.3.5 in tutorial.itely.
