I think this depends on what permission the author of the doc would give you. The other thing is, donated documents should not be changed at all, all additional information should be added to the right part of the handbook, or make an article IMHO. > Is it allowed to fix typos and bad grammar? If you fix typos in a 'donated' document; a copy of the patch should go to the original author as well. > I have a patch ready for the corp-net-guide chapter and just > wanted to make sure it doesn't contain anything which won't > be committed anyway. As I said above, the permission of the author is very important. Hope that helps. -- Hiten __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
