As others said already, your assistance would be very welcome. Paul Vinkenoog is the project's Docs coordinator. He's also one of our most prolific author/editors. At the moment, we have an urgent need for native speakers of English to complete the review of the Fb 2.5 Language Reference. If you could find time to go over the DML, PSQL and Functions chapters (any or all), you would be doing a great service. Some of the DDL chapter (as annotated) still remains to do, as well. It would be beneficial to take this opportunity to do a bit of recap. I'm coordinating this part of this project. What has worked well for the review so far is for the reviewer to keep a text file containing the existing text and his suggestions for improvements, corrections, et al. It is easiest to work with the PDF, quoting PDF page numbers and the immediate heading. Paul and Mark have been sending these files directly to me (hele...@iinet.net.au). For pieces that have already been reviewed, people just post the corrections directly to this list. As I complete a list of changes/reviews, I am posting the latest Docbook source to CVS and building a fresh set of PDF and HTML output to update the Docs at the web site. I hope to have a fresh build ready this weekend, touch wood. The released source code will become the base version for translations and future updates. Martin Koeditz and his colleagues have already begun the German, I believe. I think Tsutomu Hayashi is standing by to start on the Japanese. Dennis Simonov is translating back into Russian, with the Fb3 version in his sights. (The current Fb 2.5 text originated in Russian but not in Docbook format.) We're all volunteers in this team - so we do what we can, when we can.
