Re: Proof reading the release notes



Hi, John and Alex!

It would rock if you both could proof-read. Just let me finish it first.
Otherwise you get used to the text. :-)

Please don't just concentrate on grammer or spelling mistakes; also
check for formulations that "sound" strange.

Cheers,
Claus

If no-one else has the job already, I volunteer.  Actually, even if
someone else has the job, I still volunteer.  Studies have shown
that two proof readers catch more errors than one.  Three is
better, but after that not much improvement accrues.

Hope this helps,

Hey,

As far as I know, nobody else has taken the job. But as you said, 2
is better than one, so I can help with the proof reading as well - I
am a native English speaker as well.

Thanks
Alex
