| 10 | Rules for maintenance: |
| 11 | |
| 12 | * Anyone can add text to this document. Do not spend very much time |
| 13 | on the wording of your changes, because your text will probably |
| 14 | get rewritten to some degree. |
| 15 | |
| 16 | * The maintainer will go through Misc/NEWS periodically and add |
| 17 | changes; it's therefore more important to add your changes to |
| 18 | Misc/NEWS than to this file. |
| 19 | |
| 20 | * This is not a complete list of every single change; completeness |
| 21 | is the purpose of Misc/NEWS. Some changes I consider too small |
| 22 | or esoteric to include. If such a change is added to the text, |
| 23 | I'll just remove it. (This is another reason you shouldn't spend |
| 24 | too much time on writing your addition.) |
| 25 | |
| 26 | * If you want to draw your new text to the attention of the |
| 27 | maintainer, add 'XXX' to the beginning of the paragraph or |
| 28 | section. |
| 29 | |
| 30 | * It's OK to just add a fragmentary note about a change. For |
| 31 | example: "XXX Describe the transmogrify() function added to the |
| 32 | socket module." The maintainer will research the change and |
| 33 | write the necessary text. |
| 34 | |
| 35 | * You can comment out your additions if you like, but it's not |
| 36 | necessary (especially when a final release is some months away). |
| 37 | |
| 38 | * Credit the author of a patch or bugfix. Just the name is |
| 39 | sufficient; the e-mail address isn't necessary. |
| 40 | |
| 41 | * It's helpful to add the bug/patch number as a comment: |
| 42 | |
| 43 | % Patch 12345 |
| 44 | XXX Describe the transmogrify() function added to the socket |
| 45 | module. |
| 46 | (Contributed by P.Y. Developer.) |
| 47 | |
| 48 | This saves the maintainer the effort of going through the SVN log |
| 49 | when researching a change. |
