Hi,

This part is not optimal for me:
Gendered pronouns
Try using epicene (gender-neutral) pronouns such as 'they', 'them', 'one'.
OR mix it up, use both he and she in the documentation at random(?)

I have not seen any cases where "they", "them", or "one" is insufficient. I'd 
probably add "their" to the list.

So I'd remove the "OR mix it up" bullet point. [We just made this change in the 
Bylaws https://www.apache.org/foundation/bylaws.html Amendment II and never 
needed anything except for "they", "them", or "their".]
