Debian Publicity Style guide proposal.
Dearest Justin,
I wish to acknowledge and announce to the world that you have been a long time
and essential contributor in the Publicity team and the overall Project wherever
it comes to any documentation, guides, style changes, or final pass editing.
Often you correct and catch small errors that native speakers will overlook from
speaking words into the dialogue of written word.
The Publicity and Webwml teams rely heavily on your volunteer effort ... so I
thought rather than keep praising you in emails and on IRC, I'd like to invite
you to make a larger impact on the Publicity team and the overall project.
Could I invite you to author the *Official* Publicity/Press team style
guidelines? This document would help us to keep the same style, grammar, and
punctuation across the variances of the author's native language(s).
We would of course maintain this in its own repository perhaps called: Debian
Publicity Styling Guide or something to that affect.
There is an existing Debian style guide somewhere that I cannot find, but I also
think it may need updating and at this point with our team expanding we really
need to nail down how we present what we are saying overall.
In that proposed repository we could also move our 'gotchas' files and other
publishing tips that often trip up the publishing and presentation processes. We
would refer to this guide as our 1st step in all future work I.E. Read the style
guide -> Read the easy mistakes to avoid -> Present -> Edit -> Publish.
The workflow is somewhat dynamic and will change shortly but principally the way
we present needs to addressed and be uniform.
Thoughts (and acceptance :)) ?
Also should you elect to become a DD I will be the first to advocate for you,
your impact on the project is well documented and it would be an honor.
*any typos, phrasing, or superfluous oxford commas are intentional!! :D
