Development documentation update project in progress

As part of our move to Github we have a lot of development documentation to update.

If you want to be part of the vanguard, take a gander at the Moving your Dreamwidth installation to use Github instructions. People following them are encouraged to log into the #dreamwidth-dev channel on IRC for real time assistance.

Does that meant newbie Dreamhackers like myself should hold off submitting patches the old way? I mean I've done the preliminary Github steps but don't really know where to go from there (or if I should). The review queue in Zilla is getting quite long and I don't want to add to the pile if it'll make things harder up above (or less likely to get reviewed any time soon tbh). :/

You can keep adding to the Bugzilla review queue, we will still accept patches in the Tried and True method for some time. [personal profile] fu says she's working on the queue, too, so it should get shorter very soon!

Wonderful news! Thanks for the fast reply. I'll be off to patch then. ;)

It is important to note, though, that people who have not updated their Dreamhacks to use Github will not see the latest changes, because they're only being published on Github right now.
