Thanks, this has been very useful. With this help I've been able
to locate the XML help page in my locally downloaded source code.
I hope this will allow me to process future documetation fixes.<br>
<br>

Stéphane,<br>
<br>
Thanks for your answer. <br>
<br>
I'll try, as soon as I can, to see if I'm able to go into the
GIT world, but it may take much more time than your second
option.<br>
<br>
So my next question is, how do I find the files to modify?<br>
<br>
Should I download the source code?<br>
<br>
And--this is embarrassing--I cannot track back what help page
my own correction,<br>

recall it. <br>
<br>
Thank you very much for your patience!<br>

<p>Hello Frederico,</p>
<p>In order to<b> create new commits</b> you cannot avoid to
start with installing GIT on your computer and getting the
Scilab source files (which includes the documentation).
Depending on your OS using GIT can be a different
experience, but using the command line is not a must. For
example under Windows you have <a
class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://antispam.utc.fr/proxy/2/c3RlcGhhbmUubW90dGVsZXRAdXRjLmZy/gitforwindows.org/"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://gitforwindows.org/</a>.
Once you have installed any flavor of GIT, the remaining
instructions are inside this Wiki <a
class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://antispam.utc.fr/proxy/2/c3RlcGhhbmUubW90dGVsZXRAdXRjLmZy/wiki.scilab.org/gerrit"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://wiki.scilab.org/gerrit</a></p>
<p>If all those things are too complicated for you, just give
us (for example me or Samuel) the modified files and we will
create the commit and you will be able to edit/update it
directly on codereview.scilab.org</p>
<p>S.</p>

Creating new commits and managing them is (quite) more
complicated (at least it was, for me).<br>
But many contributions are possible directly with the web
interface, without knowing GIT,<br>
including editing files.<br>

<br>
<font face="Courier New">Would you please give me some extra
hints?<br>
<br>
I'm quite serious about starting to contribute corrections
and improvements to some help pages, the only area where I
feel confident that I can put my two cents for the time
being (besides just detecting bugs).<br>
<br>
I've been able to login, I arrive at this page:<br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://antispam.utc.fr/proxy/2/c3RlcGhhbmUubW90dGVsZXRAdXRjLmZy/antispam.utc.fr/proxy/2/c3RlcGhhbmUubW90dGVsZXRAdXRjLmZy/codereview.scilab.org/#/q/status:open"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://codereview.scilab.org/#/q/status:open</a><br>
<br>
There are many open subjects, of course none of them
matches the bug I've filed earlier:<br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://antispam.utc.fr/proxy/2/c3RlcGhhbmUubW90dGVsZXRAdXRjLmZy/antispam.utc.fr/proxy/1/c3RlcGhhbmUubW90dGVsZXRAdXRjLmZy/bugzilla.scilab.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16250"
moz-do-not-send="true">http://bugzilla.scilab.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16250</a><br>
<br>
Anyway, I proceed and open the first one:<br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://antispam.utc.fr/proxy/2/c3RlcGhhbmUubW90dGVsZXRAdXRjLmZy/antispam.utc.fr/proxy/2/c3RlcGhhbmUubW90dGVsZXRAdXRjLmZy/codereview.scilab.org/#/c/20723/"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://codereview.scilab.org/#/c/20723/</a><br>
<br>
But now I'm completely at a loss. How do I locate the help
page I want to edit from here?<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance.<br>
