All patches should be submitted on Phabricator. There are some<br>
straightforward instructions on how to submit a patch on the wiki -<br>
<a href="https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Phabricator" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/g<wbr>hc/wiki/Phabricator</a><br>
<br>
If you want to build the documentation then you can modify mk/<a href="http://build.mk" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">build.mk</a><br>
and add the line HADDOCK_DOCS = YES (and probably enable the quick<br>
build flavour by uncommenting the line).<br>
<br>
Message back if you need help or #ghc on freenode.<br>
