However, do not add questions without answers to this page. If you have a question about how to do something in Tomcat which has not been addressed yet, ask the tomcat-user list.

• Download the source bundle or grab the source XML file from CVS Subversion repository. The docs are in the jakarta-tomcat-catalina CVS module, in the webapps/docs subdirectory. They are in XML format and get processed into the HTML documentation as part of the Tomcat release.

• Open a Bugzilla enhancement item with the explanation of your enhancements, and attach a svn diff or diff -u format of your patch. We will evaluate and commit your patch as needed. Note that the Tomcat web site is updated with every release, so that documentation changes will not be visible as soon as you submit your Bugzilla itemuntil next Tomcat release.

• If you're interested in previewing your changes, you will need to follow the directions for building Tomcat yourself. The docs will be generated in the webapps/tomcat-docs directory just like with any normal Tomcat distributions.If you'd like to get documentation up and visible to the world before the next Tomcat release, use this wiki

• Documentation for current (unreleased) versions of Tomcat 6 and Tomcat 7 is published by ASF Buildbot. See links on the buildbot page on Apache Tomcat web site.
