Did you use the patch I sent? It's the first time I've used
Eclipse's "create patch" utility, so I have no idea of it's
effectiveness. Lastly, is this list the right place to post it? I
sent to list and Gavin Sinclair on the last one (that's what the
status page says to do). Is Gavin the filter for all documentation?
Also, I felt like the contribution process was a little tricky and
not very well described on ruby-doc.org. I'd be happy to make a step
by step once I know the process. Would someone with access to ruby-
lang be interested in such a thing? It'd be great to get a little
"Want to help?" link on the main page of ruby-doc.org with clear
instructions.
My impression has always been that this list is for discussing the
docs in general and the ruby-doc.org site, but when you have an actual
patch, I think you're supposed to submit directly to the ruby-core ML.
That way, anyone there can submit your patch. Then, over time, after
you've submitted a bunch of good patches, my guess is that they'll
eventually tire of committing your patches for you, and start making
you do it yourself. :)
