Ok, so Michael has thrown down the gauntlet: "Now please stop the damn 'thank you' thing, and contribute something."
Circumstances prevent me from contributing much in the way of code but y'all know I have a passion for decent documentation. I have made a number of contributions to the Wiki and to the distributed LinuxCNC documentation. The process I used last year to contribute to the docs was horribly inefficient. I would first find problems, then document them as to source file, line, and the change to be made. Then I'd fire off emails to John Thornton who would fire up his trusty editor and, file by file, line by line, first locate what I was talking about, and then make the corrections he agreed with (which he mostly did; thanks, John). Frankly, I'd rather just edit the document source files and be done with it. It's something I can do at odd moments during the day as I see problems in the pdf/html results. I see two possibilities for doing this in an organized way: 1) create my own public git repository, edit and post files to it after pulling from the central repository, and announce their availability to y'all. It would then be up to 'someone' to pull them and merge them in the central repository. or 2) get push privilege to the central repository. It would be super if git allowed for restriction of push privilege to the ./docs subset, since that's all I need/want, but I'm not aware that it does. And the answer is...?
