Terry J. Reedy added the comment: Thanks. This is helpful and got me started thinking. I don't want to duplicate the reference doc too much, but a reference is just that, a reference. The menu items are discussed in the order they appear, not the order a beginner might use the most common on

Cheryl Sabella added the comment: I think it's a good start, but may need some tweaking. For example, the Menu options should probably somehow stand out from the rest of the text. I think it would be useful for a beginner, depending on how much of a beginner they are and how they got to this pa

Terry J. Reedy added the comment: (If someone else wants to take this before I get to it, feel free. But there seems to be enough support to add something eventually.) It seems that Rietveld is able to ignore the binaries, but in the future, lets separate the text and images. If nothing else,

Éric Araujo added the comment: This is a great idea, thank you. FYI You can share text and images with a diff file: if you call “hg add path/to/images” and create the diff with the --git option, it will use an extended unified diff format which includes binary changes. Our review system is n

Ezio Melotti added the comment: I left a few comments on rietveld. I wonder if it's better to make two separate versions, one for py2 and one for py3, and avoid repeating things (like the name of the packages) twice. You should also be able to include the images in the patch by using "hg add"
