Hi, I just joined the list on Monday so I am not across all the various protocols yet. Like, I 
don't know whether you have to put your hand up for this sort of thing or just do it.

 Nevertheless, I am 2/3 of the way through chapter 3 and I have made some notes/changes to the doc. 
I could very well be finished my review by the end of the working week. What is the next step? I 
could just flick off a copy of the document with my changes if that would suit.

 Cheers
 Tim

 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 :) >________________________________ > From: webmaster-Kracked_P_P

parts of Base. A working knowledge of Base is helpful for them. I'm thinking that the earlier 
chapters have already received reviews and at least some proofreading. >>>> Below is the link where
