For documentation, the procedure is the same, you just patch the document SGML source. The FDP primer would have more info on this. If you have patches for the Maple port itself, it should probably be discussed on the ports@ list, or perhaps even with the maintainer him/herself. I certainly don't speak for the Project itself, but this would seem to be the canonical way of contributing back to FreeBSD ... HTH, Kevin Kinsey
