Please keep replies on-list, and write your replies beneath the quoted text rather than above it. To submit a patch, you need to check out the source code, edit the SGML documentation, and then use git diff. See: http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Submitting_a_Patch In short: git clone git://git.postgresql.org/git/postgresql.git <make your changes in doc/src/sgml> git diff > grammar.patch <email the patch file to pgsql-docs> If you have only a handful of changes, feel free to just point out the parts that you think could be phrased better and how you think they should be written, rather than generating a patch. Actually, it'd probably be better to point out the first few changes that way anyhow, to see if we agree with your opinions on what should be done. If you're submitting a large number of edits, you're going to have to learn how to generate a patch file as per the above, because otherwise it's going to be extremely laborious for anyone to think about applying your changes. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-docs mailing list (pgsql-docs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-docs
