Hello Frederico,

In order to*create new commits* you cannot avoid to start with installing GIT on your computer and getting the Scilab source files (which includes the documentation). Depending on your OS using GIT can be a different experience, but using the command line is not a must. For example under Windows you have https://gitforwindows.org/. Once you have installed any flavor of GIT, the remaining instructions are inside this Wiki https://wiki.scilab.org/gerrit

If all those things are too complicated for you, just give us (for example me or Samuel) the modified files and we will create the commit and you will be able to edit/update it directly on codereview.scilab.org

Samuel,

Somebody told me I could edit the documentation by myself. I need some permission? How I can get access to edit the help pages?

  * login on the CodeReview portal, with your usual (Bugzilla) Scilab
    login and password:
    https://codereview.scilab.org => Sign in, in the top right
  * Contribute to an existing commit, just through the web interface.

Creating new commits and managing them is (quite) more complicated (at least it was, for me). But many contributions are possible directly with the web interface, without knowing GIT,
including editing files.

Would you please give me some extra hints?

I'm quite serious about starting to contribute corrections and improvements to some help pages, the only area where I feel confident that I can put my two cents for the time being (besides just detecting bugs).

I've been able to login, I arrive at this page:

https://codereview.scilab.org/#/q/status:open

There are many open subjects, of course none of them matches the bug I've filed earlier:

http://bugzilla.scilab.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16250

Anyway, I proceed and open the first one:

https://codereview.scilab.org/#/c/20723/

But now I'm completely at a loss. How do I locate the help page I want to edit from here?

Thanks in advance.

Federico Miyara
