I like the style and it also shows that it was written by a native English speaker. It's not too technical and not dumbed down either. It doesn't have to politically correct but maybe we shouldn't make fun of LimeWire users in there, also because it'll appear on the website eventually. They're punished enough with LimeWire, in my opinion, and it might turn off potential defectors. Some technical notes: I think "blah" should be written as <q>blah</q> (or <quote>blah</quote>?). This matters for translations because some language use different characters for opening and closing quotation marks. I consider the term "gnet" deprecated because virtually nobody uses it. IIRC, this was an attempt to get the GNU out of Gnutella. Please use the term Gnutella throughout. In general common terms should be used. I rather fix those odd terms in the GUI than in the manual. For example, we should stick to ultrapeer instead of "ultra node". Maybe we should also stick to peer instead of alternating between peer and node, for the sake of consistency. Albeit once P2P becomes illegal, we might have to switch to node-to-node. I'd also prefer "IP address" over "IP". The latter should only be used in spoken language if at all. -- Christian ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
