I am just following the handbook for now, as I have no idea how to write manual pages, but don't exactly understand proper procedure for actually making a contribution. In the pr list, can I just find something I'd like to fix, then send the patch to the list, or do I submit it through send-pr? If someone else has already taken responsibility for a pr, is it deemed offensive if I submit my own patch even if the pr is still 'open'? I'm very excited about making an initial contribution, however, I want to ensure I follow proper order as to not offend anyone, and make it as easy as possible for everyone. Tks, Steve
