Benefits of contributing to the book(let)s on GitHub:
1. Easy way to give back to community - even edit directly in GH web UI
2. Have an excuse to learn Pillar syntax (although for the most part you can
just ignore it if you're copy editing)
3. And the most important: Propel your Pharo learning! Copy editing forces
you to really think about what the author is trying to say. In order to
reword a passage, you have to *understand* it. So this is the antidote to
forgetting what you read the moment you are done, or worse - getting to the
end and realizing you have no idea WTH you just read :)

Thanks for the acknowledgement!  I think contributing to the documentation is
as important as contributing to the codebase.

I'm encouraged to see the increased activity with the booklets (new
publications as well as new edits) over the last 6 months.  A strong library
covering many topics will help with promoting Pharo to those who do not know
it (yet).

I plan to resume copy-editing soon (as my workload is starting to drop off
after a very busy period lately).
