From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Thomas De Schampheleire Date: Sat, 24 May 2014 19:19:54 +0200 Subject: [Buildroot] [PATCH 1 of 2 for-2014.05] website: rework Contribute page to avoid duplication with manual In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: buildroot@busybox.net The manual contains details about how users can contribute to buildroot. The website also had such a list, but with much less detail and not containing all topics. In order to avoid duplicating this information, simply list the different topics without detail on the website, and add a link to the relevent chapter of the manual.
