Hi :) I was thinking that a good start would be helping complete the Base Handbook. How far has the handbook got so far? Would it be better for Winston to start on proof-reading translated chapters to check the English and technical sides? Then Jean to do the final proof-reading and publish after she gets back? I think a lot of chapters have already been through proof-reading but are there any that haven't or that could use an extra pass? Anything that could help get the handbook out even faster?
On the other hand getting stuck straight into writing a chapter for the full guide would be fantastic.
