hi roger!

thanks for your proposal. to make error/suggestion tracking a lot more
manageable, we use GNATS. So try to get the doc-tree (read this
article for instructions [1]), then make your changes and
submit a patch using send-pr [2].

this makes using your suggestion much easier.

this also allows you to build the docs including your changes
and actually see it, so you can tweak your suggestion to get
the best result.

to send patches via send-pr is of course no need to get suggestions
considered, it is just a way to make life for committers easier.

greets, josef
