<h1>Contributing to this guide</h1>
<p>This guide is released under the <a href="http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html">GNU Free Documentation License</a>. The source documents are available on
<a href="https://github.com/drothlis/how-to-learn-emacs">github</a>. Please contribute
patches, no matter how small, to correct errors or omissions. It’s very easy!</p>
<p>I initially intended to write multiple variants of the introductory chapter
<a href="basic_c.html">“Basic Unix/C workflow”</a>: One targeting Ruby/Rails developers,
etc. I gave up due to a lack of time, but if you’d like to contribute such a
chapter, please do. It could be tricky because I introduce concepts in a
particular order, and an introductory chapter for (say) Rails development would
require installing third-party packages, something I don’t touch on until much
later.</p>
<h2>Super-easy way to contribute small patches</h2>
<p>If you have a small correction to wording or spelling, you can browse to the
source file on <a href="https://github.com/drothlis/how-to-learn-emacs">github</a>, click
the button that says “Fork and edit this file”, make your change, and submit a
“pull request”. This will require you to create a (free) account on github, but
you don’t even need to checkout the source files onto your computer.</p>
<p>Or just <a href="mailto:[email protected]?subject=How%20to%20learn%20Emacs">email me</a>
the correction. Unless you ask me otherwise, I will use your name and email
address in the change logs, which will be visible to anyone who downloads the
source repository from github.</p>
<h2>More complex changes</h2>
<p>See the <a href="https://github.com/drothlis/how-to-learn-emacs/blob/master/README">README</a> for
instructions on generating the html from the source haml files.</p>
