How to contribute to documentation?
Hi guys,
I'm using Camel a lot in my work recently and I stumbled upon some
examples in the documentation that had typos or where some lines of code
were missing to have a copy-n-paste'able code snippet right from the
website.
Now my question is: how I can contribute to the documentation?
I already found http://camel.apache.org/how-do-i-edit-the-website.html
with a reference to the Apache CLA process. I tried to read up on the
process to join as a contributer, but I'm a bit lost at the moment how
to proceed.
Here's what I figured out at the moment:
* I need to download and sign the CLA of Apache
* Then I send the scanned document to secretary@apache.org
* They'll set me up with an account
* After I received the account details (and went through all the things
explained at http://www.apache.org/dev/new-committers-guide.html...) I
send a mail to the camel-dev list, asking for access to the Camel
project
* Then start editing documentation on the website
Is that about right?
Carsten

It helps when you have someone on the Camel PMC that does the ICLA filings. :)

Ok, this happened faster than I thought. My name already shows up in the
"unlisted CLAs" section on
https://people.apache.org/committer-index.html.
I created an account on the wiki, my username on Confluence is
"caringe", profile page
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/~caringe. :-)

Hi
Yes print, sign, and email a scan of the ICLA to Apache.
Then your name will show up on this page
http://people.apache.org/committer-index.html
And when that does, then create an account on the Camel wiki. eg click
that edit button in the bottom, and create a new account (if you dont
have)
So when your name is on the ICLA list above, then we can grant your
account edit rights.
