Hello Peter and Rob, I thought about Peter when I first read Rob's message. Perhaps, if Rob does the first review of the chapters of the base guide 6.4 then Peter can take them for their second review and make sure good English is used. That way both tasks would be fulfilled- database errors would be removed and English would become good. As for figures I agree with Jean. We should do all this in the v6.4 not v6.2. We should let v6.2 be published because Base Guide has not been updated since v4.0 I think. I have already prepared the drafts of first 6 chapters of v6.4. If Rob can take it for its first review it would be great. I think Peter, you are busy with Draw guide. Can you manage the two at once? As for time I think we have much for v6.4. v7.0 is going to be released in August, so if we complete v6.4 by end of July, and it would have no or only little mistakes, then I think it wouldn't take more than a month to update it to v7.0. It depends how base changes in going to v7.0. Pulkit Krishna
