Great! This suggests that the introduction in the CG is ok. > All that said, where things got interesting for me was when I wanted to > figure out how to submit my patch.

From memory, I think there's 3 different sets of instructions for submitting a patch in the CG. 2 of them contain factually incorrect information, and 1 of them was correct as of summer 2012. That one is probably still correct, but I wouldn't feel comfortable vounching for it. Fixing this doesn't require a reorganization. It requires deleting the two incorrect bits, dumping a @ref{Submitting a patch} or whatever the @node is called. On a similar note, there's at least 2 "checklists before submitting a patch", at least 1 of which has obsolete info. ... come to think of it, the whole "mentor" infrastructure never got off the ground, so there *is* misleading info in chapter 1. - Graham _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
