Hi everyone,
To introduce myself, my name is James, I use Geany as a developer and
I'm getting involved in the documentation. I've never been involved as
a contributor to any open source project before, and I apologise if I
break any established protocols :)
As my first contribution I added some clarification to the section about
Projects. I generated a patch file as per the instructions in the doco,
and attached it to this email. I hope this is the normal procedure.
There is mention of using a pull request, so do people also push their
commits to the server?
Thanks,
James

His mail server was down so I sent this message for him. This time to
correct thread.
