Definitely; that's right up my alley. One of my main ideas is that I always thought the help text should very explicitly state "this is what you should put in answer to this question if you don't understand the question and want the safest answer", so I'd like to work on that kind of thing...but, I'm not opposed to just doing simple proofreading without changing the content if that's what the project wants. Is the goal to lean more toward "professional phrasing" or "informal if it helps convey the information"? While I do kind of pride myself on being able to do both at once, sometimes they're a little mutually exclusive. > So you have the correct information for doing this (where to grab > templates files and son on)? I don't have anything yet; the email you replied to was the first real interaction I've had with Debian (other than a couple of bug reports). -- John !
