Hi everyone,
We've gotten a decent response so far from proofreaders for the upcoming 26
manual. What would be nice is to have the eyes of both a general reader (who
can spot confusing language) and an expert (who can spot inaccuracies) on each
section.
Would any of the developers here be willing to review one or more of the parts
below (the lines indicated within each Pt section), to add more experts to our
completion list?
We also have 15 parts still with no proof-readers at all. If you have friends
who might be interested in helping out, please let them know to send a message
to emacs-manual-bugs@gnu.org!

Hi John,
I'd like to take up one section to begin with.
Can you list the Info node names (the ones that are visible in the Info
buffer).
The pending sections look like (see attached image 1):
[image: image.png]
If I focus on "Commands for", is it this section with the 4 nodes in the
manual (see attached image 2):
[image: image.png]
If so, I can take that up.
Also, sorry if I missed out earlier on how those Ch/Pt numbers were
derived.. right now they don't make sense to me.
For example, in your email, Ch 14 is "Keyboard Mac", but in the Info
manual, I see Display as the 14th ch (see attached image 3):
[image: image.png]
In summary, it will be great if a list of Info nodes (that one can access
using C-h i g) is available that still needs proof-readers.
Thanks.
