I was browsing the svn.dd-wrt.com to try and find the html/asp files that contain all the help info for each individual ddwrt option on each page on the router gui interface. I know it is sparse and it may need some work so I'd like to help include more explanations for each option. I know the forum is a pretty good resource but that info can be added to the help file on the router webserver.

Can someone point me in the right direction on the svn to see where the source files for these are located?

thanks

The source tree is a kind of maze, I think it is intentional if you do not know the way you have to stay out (just kidding, your help is appreciated)

thanks for pointing me to this.. Is there a way for me to edit the english.js file on my router so I can test it?

And if the above is possible, the Contributing part of the wiki doesn't tell me how to submit the patch. Do I just submit a bug report and attach the patch?

Or by way of: https://github.com/mirror/dd-wrt/pulls - you'd need a github account, fork DD-WRT mirror repo, make your edits, test, submit. Much better if you can actually compile your own images. I don't think the .js files actually exist on the router...
