I think you do raise a valid point. However, I also think it perfectly ok to seperate the purely content related redaction from the linguistic issues. As far as I can see there is absolutely no problem with the content itself. Maybe someone should proofread it before it's posted. Or after it is posted, it's a wiki after all, you really should just correct any errors you find. AVee -- It isn't an optical illusion. It just looks like one. _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
