IMHO it is better to have a single commit fixing 20 typos than 20 commits fixing one typo. > Concerning the "=E2=80=A2", I think no decision has been made yet.

I had an impression (perhaps wrong) that people are not going to discuss it. Anyway if we decide that there is a better choice for list markers, we can easily fix it by replacing " =E2=80=A2" with "-" for example. But I agree with you t= hat it (and any other convention) should be documented. --=20 Alex
