I struggled to find how to contribute to the devguide. I even struggled to find where the VCS is. I think it would be kool if there was a section for this info (it's not always fun to search the intertubes).

Hello Tshepang,
The current section is at: http://docs.python.org/devguide/docquality.html#helping-with-the-developer-s-guide reachable from the mainpage looking for helping with documentation.

it may be a little to condense but it is a good start (and it seems to cover the points you made in the issue): do you find it useful as it is? would you like to add something?

I guess I should have looked more carefully. Thanks and sorry for the noise.
