Hi, all: Over the next few days you will see a number of pull requests covering edits I am proposing to the texts of Incubator web pages. This is part of a project I have been working on for several months to do a little tidy-up of the texts of all Apache pages.
As I work through the pages, I am trying to keep in mind how someone new to Apache and even to open-source work, and for whom English is not the first or an easy language, would engage with the texts. Using that lens, I often try to move sentences from passive voice, which tends to conceal who is to do what, to active voice. Passive voice is a valid and respectable form of English, but it can cause comprehension problems. I am happy to discuss any proposed edits.
