Hi Brian!
Hi Sarah,
I'm a new Mesa developer in Intel's OTC graphics team (although not new
to open source, I've been a Linux kernel developer for the last seven
years).
I heard that you're responsible for updating mesa3d.org documentation
against the docs in the Mesa source code repo. I noticed the docs are
out-of-date WRT the repo, and I had a couple questions:
1. What's the process for pushing updated documentation to the site?
All the website pages are found in the git docs/ directory. Changes are
submitted as patches and reviewed like code on the mesa-dev list.
2. How often are updated docs pushed? Once every week, month, or when
there's a new Mesa version?
I push them whenever a new Mesa version is released, but I can do it at
any time on request.
3. Any chance I could get permissions to push updated docs? I'll be
improving Mesa documentation as part of my new job, and I would love
to be able to push myself once patches are accepted, rather than
having to ping you.
The typical deal is we wait until a person has some track record of
producing good patches before giving git-write/push privileges.
So, I'd suggest you make some changes/patches, post them to the mesa-dev
list for review (others can push them for you initially), and then when
you've got some history established you can file a request (via
bugzilla) for git privileges.
