Hmm, it seems the "easy way" has been removed from the docs. Anyone know why? Now I see why this request might have seemed onerous.
Short answer: you can just do it in your web browser, just click on the "pencil icon" near the upper right when browsing any file in the source tree. Edit the docs, write a short message describing the change, and click submit. Someone will review your change. --Tim On Tuesday, November 17, 2015 08:42:50 AM J Luis wrote: > I don't want to be seam ungrateful nor very dumb but do you think one can > learn how to make a doc fix by reading? > > https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#improving-doc > umentation > <https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#improving-d > > > > I happen to have a Julia source code but I can't build it anymore since > > one month (msys2 build is broken).
