Thomas, All,
On 2014-05-24 19:19 +0200, Thomas De Schampheleire spake thusly:
> The manual contains details about how users can contribute to
> buildroot. The website also had such a list, but with much less detail and
> not containing all topics.
> In order to avoid duplicating this information, simply list the different
> topics without detail on the website, and add a link to the relevent
> chapter of the manual.
