Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: [libreoffice-documentation] I joined recently. How can I help?

Hi :)
The 3rd chapter is very new but it's only in draft form at the moment and needs people to read 
through and check the language makes sense.  You know what it's like when you put a lot of hours 
into creating something, sometimes an edit creates a comma in a wrong place or something else 
fairly trivial that would normally jump out at you but it's difficult to spot because of other 
distractions and plans.  Anyone that can read through for such 'obvious' mistakes would be a huge 
help right about now.  Dan has done a great job as always so we are not expecting anything but the 
docs team can't push the chapter through final phases and release it until enough people have 
checked it.  The people that normally do this are mostly just away right now or are slightly scared 
of Base.  
Regards from
Tom :)
