Hi, Peter!
Since you volunteered to help with the documentation, here's something
where you can help. The manual page of mc has a lot of grammatical errors
and is poorly phrased in many places. I was fixing the documentation
about ftpfs today, and I was constantly obstructed by the need to fix
things like this:
The Tar file system is quite clever about how it handles
tar files: it just loads the directory entries and when it
needs to use the information contained in the tar file, it
goes and grab it.
Another one:
Double-clicking on a file will try to execute the command if it is
an executable program;
"double-clicking" cannot "try" anything. Could you please fix such
errors?
There are also places where defects in the user interface are covered by
the excessive description of workarounds. That's a separate problem and
cannot be fixed as easily.
