The snow began to fall tonight, so my other plans were cancelled. I
have therefore had time to proofread the nodes by YAMATO-san and this
node about Gnus, it is excellent work!
Please keep these guidelines in mind, though:
- write at the present tense. No future, no past tense.
- write actively, as in "You can do this" or "We have added that"
- put @findex and @vindex at the exact place where the function is
described in a node, i.e. in the @table @kbd and not at the top level
of the node. And put it only once. :)
It makes more easily readable documentation.
My diff is ~420 lines long right now since I had to rewrite some
paragraphs completely, I even had difficulty understanding what the
author meant at some places. I also tried to follow Yamaoka-san's style
and be a little less rigorous, I like funny documentation too. I hope
it's not a problem. ;)
I'll send this patch tomorrow along with the nodes I promised.
Cheers,
