In fact you can go even better and edit small changes directly in github, with an rst format preview in the browser. - go straight to https://github.com/apache/couchdb/tree/master/share/doc/src/ find your file - click "edit" which will automagically fork and get you started in online editing mode - github UI renders most of the rst files correctly, so you can flick between edit mode and preview mode to see what your edits look like. No more waiting for a build to complete! Pictures here http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Documentation#Driving_GitHub_UI or try it yourself. A++++++ Dave
