As I want to help with XEmacs, I read the How to Help page. It told me how
to "download the latest beta release," but did not give instructions on how
to help with Website pages. The _How to Help with the Website_ information
is on the Website page. It took me several hours over several days to find
the _How to Help with the Website_ information. I'm asking for more
cross-links to information already on the site.
I'm a novice to XEmacs development and Linux; otherwise, I would have
already submitted patches. In fact, I am working towards preparation of some
patches. However, there is a lot of startup info to learn. If you want to
wait until I can prepare a patch, this can wait.
If you have time and patience for a novice, I'd like to ask startup
questions as I go through the process of preparing a patch for the Website.
Note that novice refers only to XEmacs development and Linux. I learn
quickly and I have good overall computer skills developed over 30 years.
Attached is a modified "How to Help" page I want to submit. The attached
page doesn't have the patch I mentioned in the 13 March email. This
attachment puts titles on the Languages and Download Sites columns, and
expands on number 3.

Please rephrase. I don't understand what you mean.
