Summary of change:
'''GenBoard/Manual maintainer's notes''' Because the manual is in !DocBook XML, it's easiest to use either a text or XML editor that understands !DocBook such as * [http://www.xmlcooktop.com/ Cooktop] Free and nice, but only for Windows. * [http://www.morphon.com/ Morphon] often used on Linux / windows ** Morphon appears to have gone under. *** Darn... * [http://www.altova.com/products_ide.html XML spy] ** Recommended by a friend. Any experience? *** Yes, it's a great XML ''data'' editor, but I personally found it awkward to use for editing ''documents'' like the manual. * [http://www.xmlfox.com/download.htm Fox] ** Recommended by a friend * [http://www.cogsci.ed.ac.uk/~ht/xed.html Xed] ** Recommended by freshmeat * [http://www.xerlin.org/ Xerlin] ** Recommended by google * [http://www.syntext.com/products/serna/index.htm Syntext Serna] ** Recommended by !RichB, but you'll need the Professional version for xinclude support. Has full WYSIWYG editing. Not free, but cross-platform and cheaper than Xopus. * XML and openoffice, or MS Office Most of these editors are ''not'' WYSIWYG, so they probably aren't suitable for newbie contributors. ---- '''Commiting changes''' When changes have been made * submit a diff to a developer with SVN write access. Choose this if you only plan to submit 1..2 patches, or if SVN read-write access is not possible from your work location. * ask MembersPage/MarcellGal in wiki or in private mail for SVN read-write access. See ListsAndForums genboard-dev list for Marcell's address.
Optional: Add document to category:
Wiki formatting: * is Bullet list ** Bullet list subentry ... '''Bold''', ---- is horizontal ruler, <code> preformatted text... </code> See wiki editing HELP for tables and other formatting tips and tricks.
