The documentation team has discussed doing this before. We'd like to look for more than just spelling and grammar problems. Notably: 1) Making sure terminology matches our style guide 2) Fixing awkward and confusing sentences 3) Checking for things that cause translation problems I have thoughts on how we could do this systematically. Are others interested in doing this? We could have a meeting or something to get the ball rolling. -- Shaun _______________________________________________ gnome-i18n mailing list gnome-i18n@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-i18n
