<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">The other day I asked a question about clang-format on stackoverflow [1]. And another user called attention to the fact that, in the section about

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Is the mailing list the correct place for suggestions like that? Or is there another place to discuss improvements of the documentation?

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">I try to integrate clang-format and clang-tidy in our development process and might stumble upon more ambiguities and possible improvements.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Also I noticed that the documentation (especially for clang-tidy options) is sometimes quite sparse. Is there a way for me to contribute to the documentation, since I need to
figure this stuff out either way. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
