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
Editors
Various XML editors - most of these are not WYSIWYG, so probably aren't suitable for newbie contributors.
- [Morphon] often used on Linux / windows
- [XML spy]
- Recommended by a friend. Any experience?
- [Fox]
- Recommended by a friend
- [Xed]
- Recommended by freshmeat
- [Xerlin]
- Recommended by google
- [Syntext Serna]
- Recommended by RichB, but wait for the next version as xinclude support is under development. Has full WYSIWYG editing. Not free, but cross-platform and cheaper than Xopus.
- XML and openoffice, or msoffice
- other editors ?
Commiting changes
When changes have been made
- submit them (preferrably a diff) to a developer with CVS write access. Choose this if you only plan to submit only 1..2 patches, or if CVS read-write access (via ssh) is not possible from your work location
- ask MembersPage/MarcellGal in wiki or in private mail, see ListsAndForums genboard-dev list for his address) for write access and commit your changes yourself.
