Hello ladies and gentlement (or should I say "girls and guys"...is this too familiar?),
One document I maintain, named "Debconf Templates Style Guide", gives Debian developers indications about the proper way to write templates for debconf, the Debian configuration system (the thing which drops screens for user input when installing/configuring packages). Two days ago, I added to this document a paragrah about "gender neutrality". I had to explain the concept once to a package maintainer who had a phrase like "If the system administrator...blahblah......., HE should blahblah....." in one of his templates. Could some of you please review this part (and, if you want, the whole document)? You have certainly noticed that I'm not a native English speaker, so this paragraph may be badly written. I'm also not completely sure if the way I have chosen for explaining this was right and thus I need input from people more familiar with all this (I mean YOU, ladies....) Of course, if some of you want to proofread the whole document, feel free. I'm pretty sure there are still typos, sp. errors and Frenglish here and there..:-) http://people.debian.org/~bubulle/dtsg/dtsg.txt --
