I don't know that much about it. If things should be British, then I need

My understanding was that, in general, either was appropriate. From
time to time, we have had arguments about grammar. But if US
spelling is to be enforced across the books, then I will devote less
time to LFS and BLFS.

I'd love have both spelling variants being valid, too. While I fully
accept American spelling, it comes as a slight insult for Europeans and
probably even more so for British people to have their contributions
"corrected" to the American spelling. Just yesterday, I talked to a
British journalist about that who quit his job in London because his new
U.S. editor started "fixing" his spelling.
Otoh, I've no idea how significant the contributions to the book are
from people outside the U.S. nowadays, and I also don't know what
spelling is taught in the rest of the world apart from Europe.
Kind regards
Tim
