Completing the Base Handbook might be a good idea also. Completing
it would be nice. Chapter 5 discusses queries. This is the link where
this can be gotten.

My personal thinking is that chapters 2 and 3 might be easier to
review for someone who has limited experience with Base because they
deal with the basics. The later chapters of the Base Handbook discuss
the more complex parts of Base. A working knowledge of Base is helpful
for them. I'm thinking that the earlier chapters have already received
reviews and at least some proofreading.
Below is the link where my chapters can be gotten.

So, here are a couple of choices that need someone to do some
work on.

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.
Regards from
Tom :)

I have two chapters in the Base Guide that could use someone
to review them: Planning/Designing Your Database, and Data Input
and Removal (Ch 2 and 3 respectively). I am working on chapter 4
(Data Output), and should have a draft of it ready for review
before the end of the month. It is this chapter that I could use
your opinions on chapter 4 specifically on the Query section that
deals with using SQL when I finish.
