282776 - webtree CVS account for Gerard Caulfield - [e-mail]

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(mozilla.org :: Repository Account Requests, task)

Description

[Gerry]

The line:
<p><img alt="Smart Keywords screenshot 2"
src="../../images/smart-keywords-2.gif" width="252" height="296" align="right"
contains an Image tag that has not been closed. This results in the rather
critical part of the document ("Visit the page that has the search field that
you search with. Right click on the search field. Choose") not showing up in
most browsers.

In regard to the request for a CVS Account, I have also noticed many other
places where I could possibly assist with documentation. Some things that were
of particular interest to me were the documentation of the about:config settings
in Mozilla Firefox and documentation of the files in the profile folder. I
realise there are already Mozilla versions of these documents, but I have found
them not to be as accurate as they could be for Mozilla Firefox. While I'm
usually quite busy, I figure that offering a little help is better than nothing.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

I guess you should start by filing bugs, providing patches and ask for review.
If we have fixed a lot of those bugs (and existing bugs, perhaps) more people
will consider to give you CVS access.

Thank you for the advice. I was just requesting as it would make it easier for
me to fix or create a new documentation page so I would be more likely to do so,
more often. If people don't wish to hand out a CVS Account to somebody who
hasn't yet proved themselves, or if they simply feel that they don't need the
extra help, then that is OK. I just though I'd offer.

Thank you for the feedback, Anne.

Gerry: thanks for your interest.  We are really looking for people who want to
own  specific content areas. If you are interested in documentation, you can
also consult the documentation newsgroup and find out what areas need help. If
you want to be engaged, there are definitely ways you can help, you just need to
focus on a specific area and get someone in the community to vouch for you.
