Add more content for irc, mailing-list. (7.69 KB, patch)

Description Luc Pi 2011-05-28 23:12:54 UTC 
The guide includes a page "get more help", but in fact it does not say how to get more help (but how to use the guide, and how to report a bug). This is frustrating.

Suggesting to add a topic describing how to really "get more help", including:
- which irc channels, and how to do (see also irc/IM)
- which mailing list, and how to do (see also email)
- which user forum

Also suggesting to rename get-involved title from "Found a problem?" to "Participate to improve this guide"
Comment 1 Tiffany Antopolski 2011-06-11 14:13:58 UTC 
- renamed "Found a problem?" to "Participate to improvfe this guide."  On gnome-3-0 branch.

Agree with topics to be written:
- irc-channels
- mailing-list
- user-forum

Created stub pages.  

Thank-you for the suggestions.

Add more content for irc, mailing-list.

I added some text for IRC and mailing-list page, I didn't added a section for forum
because there is no official GNOME forum.

Hi Baptiste,

I have pushed the patch to master, and made a couple of small grammatical changes.  

Thank-you for your patch :-)
