Documentation Project: Subversion: List broken in Creating a patch

[Chealer]

The Creating a patch section of the Documentation Project: Subversion page contains a list of 4 items. This list did not survive the switch to Markdown and now displays as 4 lists of 1 empty element each. List items with line/paragraph breaks are not Markdown's strength, but I am pretty sure there is a way to do it.

Note that the last step says to "Send email to the docs@httpd.apache.org". Sending patches to a mailing list should be a very last resort. If someone chooses to contribute via patches, there is much less risk that their patches will be lost by adding them to a ticket. But if they choose to send directly to the docs mailing list, they must be aware that messages are rejected (or possibly just lost) unless the mail is “sent from an @apache.org address or a subscriber address or an address in LDAP” (as reported in ticket #27).

List formatting fixed.

I'm still looking into the list moderation issue. Note that you can read, and post to, the list, at lists.apache.org if you prefer not to receive the email in your actual inbox.

Thank you

I don't think there was any moderation issue, submissions were just directly rejected.
Yes, I have read the list that way, but I do not seem allowed to post via the web. That must require logging in.

Fixed

If I understand correctly, Rich meant the posting restrictions were unintentional and he got them removed. I deduct that because:

1. A mail I sent after his message shows on the web interface.
2. I am visibly not subscribed to the list.

Thank you once again Rich; this is more than I was hoping for.

It was, in fact, a moderation issue, and has been resolved.

Yes, to post via the web interface, you have to be logged in, so that it knows what email address to use for you.

Hum, if by moderation we mean human filtering, it's unclear to me how an immediate failure notice with the following message can be caused by moderation:

Hi. This is the qmail-send program at apache.org.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.

<docs@httpd.apache.org>:
Must be sent from an @apache.org address or a subscriber address or an address in LDAP.

But anyway, thanks for the solution and the notice

Right, but I cannot do that at this time, since I am not in Apache’s committers directory.

Because moderation was configured incorrectly, and is now configured correctly.
