I love editing! i know writers do very well at the wriiting, but sometimes 
they could do with help with their grammar. The level of the work here is 
immense. It is all very well written and edited, and you can see the quality 
in the final works.

I think that is great project to be involved in and i would definatly like 
to see more work done in this area. I would definatly be interested in 
helping out with this.

I always enjoy working on revisions and am a good communicator so am able to 
work with many people. I have always had an interest in working on 
translations, and helping perfect the grammar. As they say English is one of 
the hardest languages in the word because of our syntax and grammar, and 
multitude of usages for a single word!! I am keen to work more closly on 
projects like these and get more valuable experience and give back to the 
Linux community, which is both fantastic and supportive.

Keep me posted on the outcomes of the above, and any updates as you know 
them and drop me a line if you need an eye cast over translations, or gaming 
docs.
