25 Just add to what blueness said that any help with docs would be greatly
26 appreciated (as you already did, thanks for the pointers on the
27 grsecurity doc). To help here you can do two things, propose corrections
28 to docs or, if you feel a bit confident, try writting the docs. We
29 usually discuss new doc additions (and large changes to existing docs)
30 in the project meetings held weekly, so even if you think you are not a
31 skilled writer rest assured your hability will improve with the comments
32 you receive!
33
34 Regarding doc contributions (either bug fixes or new documents) you
35 should do them as follow:
36 Open a new bug in bugzilla, set it to block bug 346803
37 (https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=346803) as it is the bug we use
38 to easily track documentation issues on the project.
39 If you feel brave enough attach a patch (the doc sources can be gotten
40 by adding ?passthru=1 at the end, i.e.
41 http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/hardened/grsecurity.xml?passthru=1 or even
42 better checking the overlay at
43 http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/hardened-docs.git;a=tree
44 in particular the xml directory) do so, (it will make the task easier
45 for us). Don't forget to update the date and version labels in the doc
46 if you patch it.
47
48 Well little more to say. Thanks and welcome in this big family.
