Assuming you are using the git version of Org mode, you should create a new branch, check it out, and edit orgguide.texi there. When you are happy with your edits, stage and commit them in the git repository. Once the edits have been committed, you can make a patch like this: git format-patch -o ~/temp/ HEAD~1 where ~/temp/ is what I use and might not be appropriate for your setup, so should be changed accordingly. You should read the instructions on formatting patches here: http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contribute.html#sec-4 It saves the developers a lot of time if you follow these instructions. Finally, if you're likely to go over the limits of a TINY CHANGE, then you will want to assign your work to FSF so that it can be included in Emacs. See the instructions here: http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contribute.html#sec-2 Hopefully, I've remembered all the steps. If this doesn't work for you, come back to the list with queries.
