Robert P. J. Day pointed out a link in the development manual that
was for the BitBake User Manual. The link resolved to an old,
non-maintained version of BitBake documentation. According to
Richard Purdie, the BitBake docs referenced should be the ones
that ship in the bitbake/doc/manual directory of poky. The
YP docs had been using a variable named BITBAKE_DOCS_URL that
also resolved to the antiquated user manual site. Consequently,
there were many links that needed fixed across both the YP
Development Manual and the YP Reference Manual. Each of these
references now points in general to the bitbake/doc/manual
directory in poky for more information.

Converted the "Resources" appendix to a chapter. I also made sure all
the references to the chapter use proper term now, which is "chapter".

We need to include the OpenEmbedded and BitBake mailing lists here as
they are an integral part of the community especially for patch
submission.
Note that this supersedes the information about mailing lists in the dev
manual (which should be replaced with a link to this section).

There are many references to YP documentation throughout the
YP manual set. They used to have hard-coded links to the
current release (e.g. yoctoproject.org/docs/1.1 for Edison).
This created a situation where if you went to a document on
the website and clicked on a external reference to another
manual, you would redirect to the current manual on the website.
Really, you would want to go to the latest manual, which is
one that is under development. Changing the links to
"yoctoproject.org/docs/latest" makes the tip of master, which
is used for devloping the next release, always have references
to the manuals being developed and not back to the stable
released set of manuals.
This "latest" and "current" scheme for the links is not perfect.
What has to happen when the latest set of the manuals freezes
and becomes the next stable release, all the links in the docs
will need to be changed from "latest" in the URL to the new
release number. So for example, all the "latest" occurences
would need to be changed to "1.2". Then for the next cycle
as development begins again, the links need to be infused with
"latest" again.

The information in the "Contributions" section has been migrated to
a "Submitting a Change" section in the YP Development Manual.
I re-wrote this section here to simply make a general statement
about how you can submit a change and then provided a reference
link to the appropriate section in the dev manual.

on whether the reference should have been entirely removed from the manual
or not.
