    I’ve downloaded the PDF version of the revo docs. I’d like to contribute to this with edits/updates, formatting etc.

    Presumably I need to do this through Confluence. I’ve tried to login to this using my JIRA credentials but to no avail.

    I guess this is generated off the main revo documentation pages somehow as it seems to have ’code:missing...’ lines in it in places and the production seems
    a little rough, no front page and other nice layout stuff but in the main it works Ok.

    Personally I much prefer reading docs like this than web pages and I think that producing this and keeping it updated is a real boon to the project.
      Use MODx, or the cat gets it!

      I’ll get you set up to edit Confluence, but first, we’ll need a CLA from you:
      http://modxcms.com/develop/contribute/cla.html
      You can email it directly to me via [email protected].

      The PDF is built dynamically straight from the web-based docs.

      Right; the code plugin we have for Confluence seems to not export to PDF well. We’re looking into the issue; the plugin is this: https://plugins.atlassian.com/plugin/details/171 , and our Confluence version is 3.0.0_01. Seemingly the plugin doesnt like the PDF export for this version.

      It definitely needs some styling cleanup, as well.

      I agree; send me that CLA and we can talk more. smiley
