small documentation request

From:: Reinier Battenberg

Hi,

Every time i install geonode on a clean ubuntu server, i have to first install 
python-software-properties in order to be able to install the ppa.

If you do not run sudo apt-get update first, the tip that says, "why not run 
sudo apt-get python-software-properties" does not appear.

For first time users, this is confusing. For people with limited memory, it 
means googling to find the spelling of "python-software-properties"

Could a small note be added to the documentation?

Perhaps more importantly, is there an easy way to submit patches for the 
documentation?

rgds,

Reinier

Thanks Reinier,

I have added a bit about python-software-properties to the docs [1].

The official way to submit patches for the docs is the same as
submitting patches to the code and detailed in [2].

Best,
Ariel
