Thanks for a nice patch. Much better English IMO but please do not mix English improvements with any kind of content changes. Translators will likely miss some changes if they are buried amongst many language improvements.

I stayed up late on many nights working on such revisions, only to have the effort rejected by the Gentoo Documentation Project (GDP). JA P.S. Can anyone explain why I have to log into bugs.gentoo.org to participate in this correspondence, as opposed to having the responses mailed to me?

I stayed up late on many nights working on such revisions, only to > have the effort rejected by the Gentoo Documentation Project (GDP). sorry about that, i just get too much email... patches and fixes are highly desirable, so long as they fix real problems and not simply redo things. the patch above seems to fix real problems, though as neysx said, gdp policy asks that content changes be seperated from grammer/spelling/tpyo/phrasing fixes. if you want to be emailed the progress of any bug, add yourself to the "cc" list above. i have gone ahead and added you for this bug since you seem to be desiring it. another option is to simply "follow" docs-team@g.o, which is how i get emails without being cc'd in every bug. click on "edit prefs" at the bottom of this page and then "email" appologies to everyone for the slightly off-topic post
Thanks. I've committed the patch except for the his/her changes, some time ago it was decided that using "his" is generally approved for gender-neutral documents.
