"Completing" debian/doc/manuals/
Hello,
I do use the documentation on debian.org/doc/manuals quite often,
however up until now I found that add some of the information that is
missing (missing for me). I had a read thru the debian-policy on
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ which is quite scary.
What would the process be so that I can send someone diffs of what I
think shoud be added
Apart from that when reading the DDP Guide in 3.1 Source Formats
(http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/ddp-policy/ch-manuals.en.html#s3.1)
There are 2 discussions linked, the second of which (# debiandoc vs.
docbook by Susan Kleinmann) is wrongly linked
Correct:
(Subject: debiandoc vs. docbook)
http://lists.debian.org/debian-doc/2002/09/msg00075.html
Wrong:
(Subject: cvs commit to ddp/manuals.sgml/users-guide by osamu)
http://lists.debian.org/debian-doc/2002/debian-doc-200209/msg00094.html
Ok, now for my real interests, an example would be the links below
(although I'm quite sure you know better than I what's missing) - not
sure that thos would be the things I'd like to help updating but
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/network-administrator/ch-tcpip.html#s3.6
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/network-administrator/ch-tcpip.html#s3.7
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/network-administrator/ch-tcpip.html#s3.8
Should I just send textual patches to the authors named in comment for
my purpose, I'm pretty sure I won't come up with a whole new chapter
or even documentation manual, more like some bits that I think are
missing or that provide usefull information.
Or should I try to go thru the process?
Being at that point, there is "How to start a manual"
(http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/ddp-policy/ch-manuals.en.html#s3.2)
but not something like "How to I send patches"
If I didn't mail to the right place, apologies and please point me there.
regards
martin
