Wording in model documentation

Description

URL: http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/model-api/

Under the Relationships (Many-to-one relationships), look for the ForeignKey optional arguments. The first optional argument (edit_inline) contains a description that reads: "If not False, this related object is edited..."

I've seen "If not False" in documentation before but to me, it reminds me of "if not not true". Would "If True, this related object is edited..." sound/read better?

Sorry if I'm just splitting hairs here.

That's a good point. Can you send a patch to make it easier for committers to check it in?

I would love to. How do I submit a patch? I see the "Has patch" check box but is that the right one?

Thanks

OK, I've signed up and created an account. Looks like creating a patch is more than just a simple click. That's cool. In fact, I would love to get involved. I don't believe this is high priority but if someone wanted to close it then I wouldn't be upset.

Also, once I learn how to submit patches and learn the ticket system, hopefully I can start helping on the smaller fixes and work my way up to real code fixes.

Thanks all!

Have a look at the Django doc about contributing. Also, look up on google how to make patches for SVN, there's plenty of help there.
