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. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation (gnu.org, fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (internethalloffame.org) Skype: No way!
