I think at least "Finding Bugs" should be completly available on the
website.
(IMHO it should be easier to keep content up to date on the website then
in an sxw/docbook or whatever, but thats a differnt topic)

> 
> == Working with development versions ==
> 
> * version control repositories
> * checking out a working copy
> * creating a patch with a working copy
> * creating a patch without a working copy
> 
> == Appendix: setting up a development environment ==
