The sarcasm in the "maybe" overflowed my monitor and ruined a perfectly good
danish. It was the quintessential open source "forget you if you can't fix
it yourself" response. This is a user list - why would "be a developer" ever
be an appropriate response? If you didn't mean it that way, perhaps you
should consider rephrasing it or omitting it entirely. "The best thing to do
would be to open a documentation bug report in redmine:
http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/puppet-docs/";.

The bar for documentation contribution by anyone not already a puppet
developer is very high, and this isn't the first time that "I have a minor
fix for you" has been answered this way.

Did I say otherwise? A trivial 1 line patch, however, seems like a bad time
to enforce a large, bulky policy.

Great! I didn't see that reflected in the documentation, so I opened a
ticket: http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/5633

There is no patch, in part because the policy for accepting changes needs to
be specified by the project..
