| cjohnston | cache_surplus: are you talking about help.ubuntu.com or something else? | 17:55 |
| cache_surplus | ubuntu help | 17:55 |
| cjohnston | you would have to check out the package and edit them that way | 17:55 |
| cache_surplus | actually any and all documentation | 17:55 |
| cjohnston | the wiki you can edit from the wiki... everything else, afaik, has to be edited in the source package | 17:56 |
| cache_surplus | on ubuntu.com you do a search, and then results pop up. i'd like to be able to edit those | 17:56 |

| cjohnston | and then someone would review and merge it back in | 17:56 |
