Well, what I'll do is just do the whole thing since it doesn't seem to be that long... I'll post it and I'll let you guys decide if you want to use the whole thing, cherry pick certain parts or whatever you want.

Thanks again for the offer - the issue, though, is concurrency. If you do the whole thing, there's a high chance that you will be duplicating work someone else has already done, which would be a shame. If you do section by section in the wiki, it may well happen that everyone else will let you away with it anyway ;)

Hi all,

It's been a couple of weeks, and aside from Qole's early burst, there hasn't been much movement on proof-reading the HIG.

Anyone have some time to pick at some sections today? I'll do some before the Sprint meeting next Tuesday, but I've been swamped with Gran Canaria Summit organising stuff for the past couple of weeks, so a helping hand would be appreciated.

Thanks!
Dave.

Dave,

I was planning on it, but I've been busy this week. I'll try to get to some sections today.

I just assumed zerojay was going to do a bunch of proofreading... He talked like he was going to do the whole thing... :) I can do some more, if you want...

But I thought the point of this was supposed to be crowdsourcing, and I'm not much of a crowd.

So by the definition, you and Tim are a Crowd :D

They say three's a crowd.

Yep, that was before two of the games I was working on hit crunch time. Working 13 days straight, including weekends and public holidays and at least 2 extra hours per day... so yeah... my head is going to explode. :)

OK, I did a big text dump, chapters 4-6 have the original text added, please begin editing!

My favorite chapter title? "Menu Items Sensitiveness"

Depends on the circumstances.
