Mmmh. You never change, do you?

Hence the last sentence of my former mail:

Stefan said he wanted to see what the texinfo source code looked like,
I provided him with a way to have a look, exactly the way I wished
someone would have introduced me to it a year ago (when I used to work
on the docs before the GDP). This was not meant, of course, to replace
the official GDP instructions, which I expected you to give just as
you did. *
OK, on second thought, maybe this was not such a good idea.

Stefan: Graham is absolutely right in pointing you to the GDP
instructions. This will be your primary (and only) material; what I
said about the official "git" sources is just meant for your personal
curiosity, and will not be relevant for your work as a documentation
helper. Sorry if this was somehow confusing.

Cheers,
Valentin
