distinct from the [[site copy team]] (the people who are writing the stuff

in the first pace). However, if you're interested in both, you're

allowed -- and encouraged -- to apply for both, and will be able to work

on both.

This is a FAQ that I've written as part of our userdoc process, except

[[category: obsolete]]
it's still only a first draft and hasn't been through any sort of

quality control yet. I've also deliberately introduced a few errors just

to make sure that it's really bad so you have plenty to work with. :)

I'd like you to go through this FAQ and copy edit it for me. We're
+
looking for corrections of typos, spelling, punctuation, and grammar,
+
and also adherence with our [[Manual of Style]].

+
Also please make note of anything that you think reads awkwardly, isn't

clear or should be reworded for any reason. If you can think of an

alternate wording then that's a bonus, but if not, just explain what you

think the problem that needs to be addressed is.

After you've copy-edited, send the results to [[user:rho|rho]] in plain text format to rho@rho.me.uk.
