Contributing software documentation to the Project



Contributions of software documentation is quite welcomed.

The general process for contributing software documentation
(Admin Guide, Release Documents, Manual Pages, etc.) is the
same as the process for contributing software.
  http://www.openldap.org/devel/contributing.html

Basically, one create a patch/tarball with an appropriate
rights notice and submits it using the OpenLDAP Issue
Tracking System:
  http://www.openldap.org/its/

Patches should be against the documentation source.  For the
Admin Guide, source (and tools) is available as detailed in:
  http://www.openldap.org/faq/index.cgi?file=156

For manual pages, source is available as detailed in:
  http://www.openldap.org/software/repo.html
  (manual page source is distributed with the software)

The release documents are provided with releases.

JLDAP Documentation is co-located with JLDAP code.
  http://www.openldap.org/jldap/

Additionally, the OpenLDAP FAQ is interactive.  Submission
of new answers is quite welcomed.  But, please, do not
submit questions without answers.
