Documentation patching process

2010-07-28 Thread Thomas Bullock
Tommy, Thanks for your thoughtful and researched reply. Of the 3 options (bugzilla, html, patches-mail-list) you suggest, I have no experience with any. So my reaction favors the bugzilla approach, since it seems to provide the most flexibility for reporting, tracking, and obtaining intereste
