Task:Proof-read Human Interface Guidelines

Revision as of 17:58, 3 July 2009

Proof-reading Fremantle Human Interface Guidelines

The Maemo Human Interface Guidelines are being released for Fremantle. It has been suggested that they could benefit from being proof-read by native speakers.

Let's do this together! Proof-reading a document can be spread over a large number of people quite easily. Here's how we do it:

• List the table of contents (chapter/section) here, with a column for proof-readers to sign off.
• When you proof-read a section, include comments and corrections related to the section in the appropriate wiki page (linked from the table of contents), and add your name in the "proof-reader" column.
• Comments will be reviewed before inclusion in the final version. Comments on the comments, and other suggested improvements, should be added to this page.
