The documentation at this point is a mixture of information generated many years ago along with variously contemporary updates and additions. There is a sprinkling of an informal style here and there. If anything, I have to be on the lookout for what I write being a bit stiff and lifeless in my desire to be as precise and accurate as I can, and of course there are misstatements and typos I'm sure (bugs if you want to call them that). Christoph Sch?fer isn't a native-speaker, but he's good enough to sometimes correct my fractured English. Sometimes "perfectly good English" (is there such a thing?) may not convey clearly what one is supposed to do. I have been trying to see if we can have the docs develop something of a consistent style, but just as the software is constantly changing, there is never a point at which the docs can remain in some final state. As Alexandre says, let us know where you have questions or see problems. Greg
