Yes, please do: - create a github account if you net have one - go to latest version of the page: https://docs.qgis.org/testing/en/docs/user_manual/working_with_ogc/server/getting_started.html#installation - click the 'fix me' link in the footer which brings you to - https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Documentation/edit/master/source/docs/user_manual/working_with_ogc/server/getting_started.rst - you will be asked to create a fork, do that, update the docs (just using Github editor...), and do a pull request - if all fails, then please create an issue with a pointer to this discussion: https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Documentation/issues For all other people: PLEASE try to help QGIS to get uptodate docs by at least try to write/update some docs every now and then. I think the plan above is doable for every tech savvy QGIS user... And again: if all fails: write an issue, and preferably attach a new text to it.
