Tom, Hazel cannot proofread the remaining chapters of the Writer Guide until someone updates them, so suggesting that she skip proofing the Impress Guide in favour of Writer is irrelevant.
You seem to be perpetually of the erroneous opinion that all the work that needs to be done on the various books is interchangeable: that any volunteer can do whatever needs doing next, if only they knew what it is. This is wrong and unhelpful. If someone doesn't feel competent to work on updating, say, the Calc Guide, they won't do it... or if they do, they'll likely get it wrong. I mention the Calc Guide because I wrote a lot of the later chapters (not knowing much about spreadsheets in general or Calc in particular) and those chapters need more knowledgeable people to improve them. As for the Writer Guide... where is everyone? The remaining chapters cover fairly straightforward features that fewer people use, so a volunteer who isn't familiar with them can still be quite helpful going through the chapters and seeing if anything has changed in the program or the instructions are unclear, or whatever. --Jean On Mon, Aug 25, 2014 at 2:54 AM, Tom Davies <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi :) > I have complete faith in both Peter and Jean (errr, and you Hazel). > > Proof-reading probably does usually need to be a separate process but in > this particular case i think skipping it and going straight to the few > remaining chapters of the Writer Guide would be tactically better.
