.. index:: triple: contributing; munin; documentation
The pages you are just viewing ;)
The guide contains documentation about the Munin software.
It is written using reStructuredText [1].
If you have a GitHub account, you can even edit the pages online and send a pull request to contribute your work to the official Munin repository.
Plugin documentation is included in each plugin, written using the POD [2] style format
The command line utility :ref:`munindoc` can be used to display the
info pages about the plugins. Call munindoc buddyinfo to get the
documentation for plugin buddyinfo.
Have a look at the munindoc instruction page in our Trac wiki and edit or add the pod section in the plugins code file accordingly.
Finally send a patch or a pull request on github to help us improve the plugins documentation.
The plugin documentation is also included in the Munin Gallery.
See our Wiki page for instructions how to contribute also example images for the gallery.
The manual pages are included in, and generated from, the :ref:`man pages in the Munin Guide <man-pages>`.
The wiki contains documentation concerning anything around munin, whilst the documentation of the Munin software is here in the Munin Guide.
