Dear Mr. Hutchison,
My apologies for not replying sooner to your invitation. I got your mail because I was able once to review a document related to mifluz which was written in English by a non-native speaker and render it into idiomatically correct English (or more nearly so). This was for me just about exactly the kind of contribution I would like to make. I have a strong computer background with 28 years in the field, but I am not able to take on any technical development work. Nonetheless if in future you would like me to undertake this kind of polishing work I would be happy to try to do so. In particular, here's what I will undertake to do:
if you send me an English language document for editing I will try to make sure it is correct with respect to grammar, spelling and idiom
if I see obvious technical errors or impenetrable jargon I will point them out without necessarily correcting them
if you have editorial standards for such documents I will try to consistently apply them
and if for any reason work comes to me which I am not able to handle, which is occasionally likely to be the case, I will say so immediately, as well as giving an estimate of my availability in the near future.
I am not able to undertake a technical review of the document for correctness as a description of the programs or their use, I can't take the time to stay current to that degree.
If you would like to do a test, please send me an excerpt that needs work and I will turn it around to you ASAP
Dave Stevens
