Package: www.debian.org
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
I'm attaching a patch for clarifying a bit which builds on the last
patch. It improves on the readability of the page so there are
different sections depending how the person would like to contribute to
Debian.
I hope it displays right (I can check the html is right by viewing on
firefox but I don't know about the wiki-like references)
