Hi Jacque I hadn’t seen the contributing to the docs guide so even though I know my way around GitHub it was fresh eyes on finding the docs. Here’s what I did: - open https://github.com/livecode/livecode/ - see the “Contributing to LiveCode” section links to the CONTRIBUTING file https://github.com/livecode/livecode/blob/develop/CONTRIBUTING.md - Right at the top there is "See also the documentation contributions guide.” linked to https://github.com/livecode/livecode/blob/develop/docs/contributing_to_docs.md - Scroll down to find the “Using the GitHub Web Interface” section Cheers Monte _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
