Sid gave you the correct links to get started. I will also echo that the documentation committers are understaffed. That said, I wouldn't take it the way Sid has: it does take some chasing of people to get commits it, but it means that even small-time contributions can have a big impact. Also, while my development computer is dead, and thus I can't commit to much right now, I take mentoring new people to be much more important than my own commits: if you submit patches I'll try to review and commit them ASAP. -- Eitan Adler _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-doc To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
