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. |
