 +===== Process for the contribution of man-pages =====
 +
 +Find a tool that's not documented or whose documentation could be improved ​
 +Then just learn how it works and write the page. There are tons of examples in Minix already. ​
 +
 +Just submit it as a standard pull request. ​
 +
 +Make sure to put your manpage in the same folder as the tool it documents and set the MAN variable in the Makefile (see the Makefiles for tools with man pages for examples) ​
 +
 +Don't forget to add your new page to distrib/​sets/​lists/​minix-man/​mi

-pkgsrc contains over 10,000 packages, but only a few thousand packages build and run out of the box on Minix. The goal is to get as many packages as possible working in Minix. A good way to get started is to try installing your favourite software, and fix any packages or dependencies that don't compile/​work. There is a guide [[http://​wiki.minix3.org/​en/​DevelopersGuide/​PkgsrcGuide|here]] for contributing to pkgsrc.+pkgsrc contains over 10,000 packages, but only a few thousand packages build and run out of the box on Minix.
