I copy edited (using version 3.3.0 m74) Chapter 1 of the Calc guide that was last reviewed and edited back around January. So anybody who worked on it, plus any others, should check it out. Some missing text should be added in a section or two, in order to fill in some voids. So, a volunteer (re)writer could step in for any needed text.

I uploaded a ZIP file containing the edited ODT file, plus two PDFs--one showing the edit tracking and the other as if all the edits were accepted. Both PDFs are enabled by Adobe Acrobat Pro for Adobe "review and comment" functions, whereby any user can make editing markup directly upon the PDFs using only the simple Adobe Reader. Some reviewers/editors might see if that PDF-markup capability is useful or not. This article demonstrates how to use review and comment: http://www.aroundhawaii.com/business/technology/2006-08_review_and_comment_in_adobe_reader.html. It's simple: any school kid can do it...

I parked them as an attachment in my somewhat dormant technical-editor forum, so that any comments there need not interfere with the e-mail listing. In addition, the threading on a forum site might be better for housekeeping purposes. Its URL: http://technicaleditor.freeforums.org/post168.html#p168.
