* docs: remove mailing list as way of submitting patchesTimothy Arceri2019-12-121-66/+9
| | | | | | | | | | All developers now use gitlab, don't confuse newcomers by suggesting they might use the mailing list. We want everyone to use gitlab so that patches get run through basic CI before they are merged.

* docs: do not use br-tag for non-significant breaksErik Faye-Lund2019-06-051-5/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | According to the W3C, we shouldn't use the br-tag unless the line-break is part of the content: https://www.w3.org/TR/2011/WD-html5-author-20110809/the-br-element.html All of these instances are for non-content usage, and is as such technically out-of-spec. So let's either remove them, or split paragraphs, based on how related the content are.

* docs: advice to resolve discussion on gitlab MR docAlejandro Piñeiro2019-05-161-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | For newcomers to gitlab, it is not evident that it is better to press the "Resolve Discussion" button when you update your branch handling feedback. v2: * Fix several grammar nits, reorder, use new corrected text (Connor Abbot) * Use "reviewers", instead of reviewer (Eric Engestrom) Reviewed-by: Connor Abbott <[email protected]> Reviewed-by: Eric Engestrom <[email protected]>
* docs: drop h1 in headerErik Faye-Lund2019-05-081-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | It's generally frowned upon to have more than one H1 per document in HTML4. So let's put the text directly inside the header. This means we can drop the flex-based centering, which makes things a bit easier. We also need to change the padding to rem instead of em, because the em has now changed.

* docs: harmonize headings and titlesErik Faye-Lund2019-05-081-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | We're pretty insonsistent in what the headings and titles are, especially compared to what the articles are listed as in the sidebar. Let's harmonize this. There's a notable exception for meson.html, where the sidebar uses a short-hand form that makes sense in the sidebar, but not in the article due to the visible context being different.

* docs: close paragraphs before preformatted textErik Faye-Lund2019-05-021-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | It's illegal to nest block-level elements such as <pre> inside <p> in HTML. This means that when the paragraphs gets closed after a <pre>-tag, we end up closing a non-existent tag, so the browser inserts a dummy <p>-tag. This is entirely pointless, so let's just close these tags before the <pre>-tag instead. Signed-off-by: Erik Faye-Lund <[email protected]> Reviewed-by: Eric Engestrom <[email protected]>
* docs: close paragraphs before listsErik Faye-Lund2019-05-021-18/+18
| | | | | | | | | paragraphs can't contain lists, and attempting to close them after the list just cause an extra, empty paragraph to be created.

* docs: add note about sending merge-requests from forksErik Faye-Lund2019-01-231-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | Sending MRs from the main Mesa repository increase clutter in the repository, and decrease visibility of project-wide branches. So it's better if MRs are sent from forks instead. Let's add a note about this, in case its not obvious to everyone.

Only one of the two methods is allowed for each patch series. We will *not* require all patches to be emailed. Some code changes may be reviewed and merged without any discussion on the mesa-dev email list. v2: * No longer require email.
