I don't know if this level of participation interests you Ric, but I'd like to share with the group the process involved in producing an actual patch suitable for a committer to apply regarding the website documents.
The first thing an interested party needs to do is to install the CMS bookmarklet wherever their browser normally keeps bookmarks. The url which describes this process is at https://cms.apache.org/ooo-site/#bookmark You will be prompted for credentials when you visit that url: non-committers should present a username of anonymous and an empty password. Those creds will grant you full access to the CMS. What you do then is go to the actual page in question: http://www.openoffice.org/api/docs/common/ref/com/sun/star/text/module-ix.html and simply click on the bookmarklet. After a few moments to prepare a working copy for you, you will be directed to the source page containing the errant html. Click on the [Edit] link and an editor session will let you modify the file to make the appropriate changes. Submit those changes to the server and click on the [Diff] link which will show you your changes in patch form. On that page is the option to [Mail Diff] whereby you can mail your patch off to this mailing list simply by filling out the form. Yes it's that easy, and committers will know how to incorporate your changes into the live site from there.
