Hi!
Just read through your text. Sounds good to me.
I'd __suggest__ to add the icon instead of text like "folder icon in the
action toolbar (i.e. the second one from the left)." It might even
change the order. It could read just "folder icon [icon]."
Do you want screenshots from a Unix in case they're different from the
Windows ones? (File Open e.g.)
Personally, I also __suggest__ to formulate "Scid belongs to the _Free
Software Movement_", and instead of the italic "Free Software Movement"
it should just be a link, the rest can then be dropped. This shortens
the text and is more to the medium (IMHO!!!).

I admit that I feel it is problematic to link to Wikipedia. Wikipedia
first of all changes with time (and there is no "issue information" at
all), it just can not be used for reference, therefore. Additionally,
some information there might be incorrect, especially this is the case
if you do not look up infos of the form "at which temperature does lead
melt". (It should be reliable in our context, but well.) The
PGN-article, e.g., you refer to @wikipedia states itself that it does
not even meet Wikipedias critera for quality. (No refs.) One might note
that Wikipedias criteria would not meet scientific criteria.
E.g. for PGN I'd prefer to refer to the PGN standard, for free software
one could much better refer to FSF.
I think that anyone could search Wikipedia himself if he wants to, but
references should be given to the sources and not some intermediate
sometimes even second or third class texts.
Note: I've no problem with Wikipedia as such. Its a great project. But
for me one can not refer to it at all. Especially not in a serious text.
Its definitely not the Encyclopedia Britannica.
