Subject: [boost] Can't find documentation for contributing to Boost.

I'm thinking of sending in a fix for
https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/7630, and to do that I need to
check out Boost at head and run the tests for the Range project. So I
went to http://www.boost.org/development/index.html hoping to find
instructions.

That page has some useless graphs and a calendar, but no mention of
source control or command lines. I don't want to contribute testing
resources, so I look on the right side for something that looks
useful.

"Submissions" leads to
http://www.boost.org/development/submissions.html, which talks about
contributing a whole new library rather than fixing bugs in an
existing one.

Nothing else in the right-side navigation box looks like it's going to
help. A couple times in the past, I've just given up at this point,
but this time I decided to let you know about the problem.

Could someone write down how to fix a bug in Boost and put it
somewhere I can find it on the website?

Thanks,
Jeffrey
