Hi :) Ahh, so a list of "suggested things to work on" might be helpful?
I keep being told that such a thing is impossible and that people would reject any such manipulation anyway and just go off and do their own thing. Wrt the Calc chapters done by Jean there does, of course, need to be someone quite knowledgeable about the Guide's topic involved at some point(s) in the process. However there also needs to be non-experts involved, preferably noobs to the topic, because otherwise the guides run the risk of being too geeky and unhelpful to non-experts. Of course now that Jean has worked so intensely on those Calc chapters it makes he more of an expert than she had been previously so it's difficult to make sure the team keeps getting the fresh perspective. I thought the review process was were fairly expert people checked the technical accuracy?
