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
- [Cooktop] Free and nice, but only for Windows.
- [Morphon] often used on Linux / windows
- Morphon appears to have gone under.
- [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 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.
