Re: Tooling Integration and Developer Experience

Hi,

The documentation project on reviews.freebsd.org is also very inactive. For
example, it's been almost 3 months since I submitted my revision -
https://reviews.freebsd.org/D37322. After I submitted it, it was neither
reviewed nor approved for a long time. Now, due to changes in the FreeBSD
documentation, some of my changes conflict with the current documentation
and are difficult to resolve. I suppose I could spend some time going over
it again and again, but if no one accepts it, it is pointless. Maybe I
shouldn't make such extensive changes to the documentation.Can you advise
me on how I should go about doing this? Thanks a lot.
