Hello Steffen. I looked at the link you supplied and found where I would like to add some new text (as outlined in the bugzilla bug). I would propose adding a new section called 'Text Entry" just after Using Objects / Deleting Objects. This appears to be in the file http://svn.gnome.org/svn/dia/trunk/doc/en/usage-objects.xml
I'm happy to do this, but I want to make sure I follow the correct procedures. Is there a version control system for these XML files? Do I follow the procedures documented for source code changes? Is there a recommended XML editor program I should use? When you say there are a number of uncommitted changes, is that something I need to worry about? I'm an experienced programmer and writer but I don't have much experience with creating electronic documentation. So I apologize for having all of these questions. Thanks for your help.

Hi Mark, thanks for the bug report and thanks for following up. Your input is very much appreciated. I'm currently trying to have at least a look at all the bug reports and reply to them if possible/necessary. > 1. What is the best way to propose improvements to the documentation? Submitting patches to the DocBook documentation sources. > 2. Is there a way I can help write / edit the documentation? The Dia documentation is written in DocBook. The DocBook sources are included with the Dia sources. Please use the latest sources from http://svn.gnome.org/svn/dia/trunk/doc/en/ Note that there are a number of documentation patches which have not been committed.
