I can see both sides of the discussion here. If someone works on a section of the book for quite a while, I think it's natural to develop a sense of 'ownership' of that work. I don't think anyone would object if another comes in and corrects a misspelling or md5sum or somthing like that. We should be able to touch up each other's work, but things that would appear to be style are not quite so simple. The easy way out is to ask in advance and offer to make the change. The key is trying to avoid surprises. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
