BE BOLD.

Just edit. Drop a note here after you make big edits, and ask for
feedback. The text has not changed substantially for some time, and
there's no harm in improving it in the way you're describing. Go for
it. I'd love to see it have some good bits on git.

As Karsten and Greg pointed out to me when we were on the sprint: we
can always revert. I'm not suggesting we're going to revert your work,
but just stating the (obvious?) that the nice thing about wikis (and
version control systems in general) is that work towards the future
never eradicates the past.

I'm confident your efforts will improve the text, so go for it.

Also, BE BOLD. And, ask questions. If the community can support you in
your efforts in some way, ask. Closest to you is Seneca, and they're
doing a lot of excellent work in this space, if you ever want to
arrange a field trip for yourself and your students.

Mostly saying "BE BOLD,"
Matt
