Mariano I'm willing to help. I'm based in the UK and have experience as a technical author with copy editing and proofreading experience.
I am happy to help with proofreading, page layout of text and figure arrangment, correcting grammar; anything you like. Just let me know what you want me to look at. I'm checking in with Jean today to see what is left to do on the Wiki and with the Draw Guide, so I'm happy to help you as a break from that.
