Doctor_Pi I believe I have found some typos in the Perl 6 book. 15:34
PerlJam It's entirely possible.
You could fork the repo on github and submit pull requests with your corrections 15:35
Doctor_Pi PerlJam: hmmmm, I'm a little ignorant about git, but shouldn't my corrections be push requests? 15:37
PerlJam Doctor_Pi: no, you fork the repo and have your own copy of everything that you make changes to, then you request that the book authors pull from your repo to get those changes. 15:39
Doctor_Pi PerlJam: Oh, thanks for the clarification. Am I allowed to save my repo on github? 15:41
PerlJam sure
Doctor_Pi PerlJam: So then when my changes are accepted into the main repo I can update my own copy. 15:43
What is the last version released? July 2011? 18:05
moritz seems like, yes 18:06
Doctor_Pi looking at the repo there a have been corrections since then. 18:12
dalek ok: be3bf3b | Ivan64++ | src/basics.pod:
Clarify that the input data is stored in a file called "scores"
18:19
ok: ef3e150 | Ivan64++ | src/operators.pod:
I think %matches was meant as opposed to %games.
ok: 61bc204 | moritz++ | src/ (2 files):
Merge pull request #59 from Ivan64/master

Two minor corrections
moritz Doctor_Pi++ 18:20
Doctor_Pi moritz: now that my commits have been merged, is there anything I need to do with my repo? 18:24
moritz Doctor_Pi: no 18:26
Doctor_Pi Wow, github makes contributing trivially simple. 18:27
moritz indeed, that's why we love it :-) 18:31
Doctor_Pi: feel free to add your name to the list of contributors in lib/book.sty around line 314 18:33
(bonus points for maintaing alphabetical order :-)
Doctor_Pi moritz: when other commits are merged into master will my repo have those too? 18:56
moritz Doctor_Pi: no, you need to merge them explicitly 18:58
