Hello,
Any of you with the O'Reilly Exim version 3 book may have read my name
in the Acknowledgments as one of the readers for the book, and Philip
Hazel's comments that I 'proof-read' several versions of the Exim
specification.
I have very much been tied up with other projects since just before
Philip retired, but I am now considering leaving one project. As such, I
am wondering if this project wanted someone to take on some of the
documentation tasks - I'm not sure what though!
If you are happy for me to take a look at the Exim docs, then please let
me know.
One of the problems I had when helping Philip was that I had to note
down, literally on paper, each of the mistakes I found, and then type
them into a message which got sent off to Philip. He then updated the
actual docs. To me this was duplication of work, and I would hope that
it would now be possible to update the docs directly (something similar
to using CVS to update source code?).
I have no idea how the docs are handled (i.e. what software is used,
etc), and it may well be that I need to dig through some of Philips last
emails to see what happened.
As an introductory gift(!), this lists 'Welcome' message has a mistake
in it :-) It states:
Welcome to the Exim-dev@??? mailing list! Please note it is
*always* inappropriate for for list postings to be sent to both
exim-users and exim-dev.
Note the 'for for' :-)
John.
