Contributing for the first time

[Alexandru Juncu]

Hello!

I have been a linux user for many years, and mostly on the networking
side. And I would like to start contributing somehow to the linux
community (in some other way than just promoting it). I guess that  I
should start small with something like man pages.

And there is something that really has been bugging me for some time.
I'm an iproute2 user and I teach linux courses and show people how to
use it. On most questions from my students about new commands, I
redirect them to the man pages and to the Examples section of that
page. iproute2 doesn't have such examples and I always wish it did.

Do you think that if I submit a patch to the man pages, adding some
examples of how to use the ip command, will it get accepted? Because
this sounds like a simple thing and it's hard to believe that someone
else didn't try do to this before. What do you think?
