Everything I had in mind is written on the DocJam webpage, section “Contribution protocol”.
We suggest the following protocol for each participant. For details,
see the “Details” section below.
Decide on a project to look at, typically a project that you have
used as a beginner in the not-so-distant past (we will discuss
project suggestions during the event).Perform a small improvement to its documentation, or a series of
such improvement; if you apply patches to the project, they should
get into a fresh branch of your clone of the repository.Optionally, request some feedback on your proposed change to other
participants: create a pull-request from your fresh branch to the
master branch of your clone, and post it on the DocJam channels to
ask for feedback.Once you are satisfied with your patches, send it to the maintainers
of the project. Log the submission in the “DocJam log” that collects
all our Jam actions.
Feel free to suggest changes.
