Way later than I'd hoped to provide this, but I've attached a diff with some small changes. This is strictly copy editing; I didn't touch content. Basically, the diff says this: * I am a religious supporter of the serial comma. Googling for support brought up this very succinct argument: http://www.getitwriteonline.com/archive/021201.htm * The GDP Style Guide says "file system". * "Shutdown" is a noun. "Shut down" is a verb. * Some compound adjectives needed hyphenating. * Germans capitalize every last noun, but we don't. * Nautilus is referred to everywhere (inclding throughout this document) as the file manager. So a lone reference to the file browser seemed out of place. * A few commas were missing, not just the serial type. This is great work, Davyd. -- Shaun _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
