We all do what we can. I mainly focus on the content, like correctness,
and then I review my grammer (although not perfect) and then run the
aspell, followed by a make lint ;) Sometimes, mainly on larger patches,
i'll actually make the current document thats getting worked on just to
skim over my changes, see if they are appropriate for the current area
and are correct.
Who knows, if we start the division process, we may even feel inclined
to rewrite/revise those certain areas which need it most. I do agree
with some of the current chatter going on, like splitting the handbook,
reviewing the grammer, chapters (14 is even a pr) that lack content.
Currently, Murray, I am trying to locate a DVD player and a few extra
hours, in which I can work over chapter 14. Hopefully in a month I will
have the free time for this... Until then, please accept my PPP
revision, which I accidently sent as a new pr instead of a followup to
20121.
Have fun!
