Folks, I've finished my proofreading of the Getting Started guide (version 4.1, copyright 2022).
The project is so well done that I have little to suggest in the way of improving it. But I did find three contexts in which it might be tweaked a little. 1. A glossary, especially of terms (e.g., from pages 11 and 12, odbc; jdbc, GNU, kernel, and glibc; page 114: regular expression; page 158: Bezler curves; page 185: database normalization) with which a lot of people might be unfamiliar, would make *Getting Started* even more useful. 1. Greater consistency in the presentation of internal links (for instance, some Figures being shown in the text *before**,* rather than after, the link to them – such as, on page 273, the reference to Figure 244, which occurs *after* the Figure itself) would improve workability. 1. Some more “colloquial” wording might also serve to make less skilled users more comfortable. For instance, on page 94, what's shown as “provides the oportunity” might be better expressed simply as “allows you to”. I've got lots more individual items, but those are the basic contexts. Tell me how you'd like to proceed. And thanks again for the opportunity … On Tue, Jun 6, 2023 at 12:57 AM F Campos Costero <fjcc.apa...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Thu, May 4, 2023 at 8:40 AM Keith N.
