Hi Jan,
I read through the pages on gerrit setup (two of them - they seem to be very
similar to start with, and I fond that bit confusing!), and started to get
onto the gerrit system. Then I found that the commands to use gerrit were
totally Unix-oriented so asked on IRC and was pointed to the LO development on
Windows wiki page, which implies that I have to install cygwin. Is this
necessary just for gerrit registration? I won't be building LO itself, just
editing the help files.
Best regards,
Peter

Cool, thanks! :-)

I see. gerrit is (just) a review system; in other words, a system that
allows everybody to have write access - you can commit and push your
changes (to gerrit), where somebody with the appropriate rights will
read your change, and either comment on that (so that you know what to
fix), or will merge it to the main git.
You need to do a bit of a setup:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/gerrit/setup
but then for your work, you'll push very similarly as with the normal
git.

Better if you have an IRC client, but if not, you can join via web too:
https://webchat.freenode.net/
Join the #libreoffice-dev channel, I'm sure you'll find many people who
will be able to help you with the gerrit setup, if I'm not around or not
responding from some reason (I'm "kendy" there).
All the best,
Kendy
