There are vague scribblings in the direction of a developer's manual in doc/devman/ in the tree, which includes a bit about code style. The README tells how to build the HTML output, though it's just AsciiDoc, so it's easy enough to read the source. Review procedure is generally just "bring it up on the list", so you're there. The git conversion for the mirror isn't really round-trippable, so pulling changes from that mostly decays to patch application. For larger or multi-step changes, it'd be preferable to be able to merge them with history and attribution etc intact, so it'd be better to have them in bzr (or brz, nowadays), but for simple stuff there's not much difference getting a git commit or even just an attached diff. -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | [email protected] Systems/Network Administrator | http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/ On the Internet, nobody can hear you scream.
