As a native born Englishman with a critical eye for the misuse of the written language (& a tendency towards pedantry), I have noticed a fair number of grammatical and spelling errors in past issues of the CentOS Newsletter. I cannot offer to be a "proof-reader", per se, (I just do not have the time to deal with such a request as "Here is the latest issue which will be published in 24 hours time. Please proof-read and correct it.") but would have the time to read and correct it "on the fly". That is my offer. If, whoever it may concern, is willing to accept it then I shall require both sight and write access to the pre-publication page(s). Regards, Alan.

I would appreciate your help.Happy to assist. :-) I can confirm that I now have access, without a re-login, and, for the record, I have also subscribed to the -promo m/l. It would not be me without concluding with an "And finally, . . .", so here it is -- And finally, I see that the "Newsletter Editing" page, subheading "Upcoming issues", requires a link to the issue currently being created! :-D Regards, Alan.
