I’m sorry, I know I’ve asked this before, but I’ve just been googling it and I’m not sure of the answer. I just went through irb.rb, and corrected the spelling in one of the comments. No code changes at all, just obsessive-compulsive disorder at its finest. Should I contact the maintainer directly, or is there a Trac for the Ruby standard library? – Giles B.

See: [Ruby Documentation Submission Guidelines](http://ruby-doc.org/documentation-guidelines.html) Side questions for someone who might know for sure: That doc is a bit out of date; the svn URLs are not quite correct (i.e., wrong). I believe that HEAD is svn co [http://svn.ruby-lang.org/repos/ruby/trunk](http://svn.ruby-lang.org/repos/ruby/trunk) ruby and the current release is svn co [http://svn.ruby-lang.org/repos/ruby/branches/ruby\_1\_8\_6/](http://svn.ruby-lang.org/repos/ruby/branches/ruby_1_8_6/) So, can someone tell me what svn URL to use for general doc/code patches? – James B. “The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt.” - Bertrand Russell ---

All patches to code/comments that is part of the standard distro.
