All changes to sources are send to the dev list, so I didn't feel the need to announce it independently. But as a small defence on my side, in my last mail to you on the user-owners, I wrote that I would probably have a look at it and thought that would be enough to inform you about it. Sorry, that I didn't send a follow up and didn't answer earlier to your follow-up on this list. > > And again, I am trying to learn the ins and outs here, so as not to > be a burden to the list.

That is the reason, why I thought it a good idea to discuss this on the public users list. I still believe that your real concern is not about these few b's missing from links in the documentation, but rather how to report those mistakes in general, how to submit fixes in an easy way and most importantly: where is this written on the tomcat home page. And to address these things, I found it important, that you started this discussion on the mailing list. Those on the dev list mostly know how to contribute changes, but we also want newcomers to become contributors. Thus it is important, that we have a clearly described way on how to contribute at a prominent place on the home page.
