Subject: Please help get ready for proofreading of Emacs manual

I'd like to ask the Emacs user community to check and proofread parts
of the Emacs manual. The first step is to make a list of parts of the
manual so I can ask people to choose a part and check it.
I'd like each part to be between 10 and 20 pages (preferably not more
than 15). Ideally, each piece would start and end on a chapter
boundary, but since some chapters are longer than that, some
exceptions are inevitable.
Would someone please make a suitable list of parts and send it to me?
Since some people will proofread the source code rather than the
formatted version, I'd like to offer a way of delimiting the same
parts in the source code. A way to do this would be to list some text
at the start of the part and some text at the end of the part.
