NegiX: English native speaker help needed

Post by Solar »

Pro-POS, the "Project for a Perfect Operating System", is no more, cancelled quite some time ago. But my grudge with the current state of affairs in the computing world continues, as do my (limited) efforts to do something about it.

In searching for a good way to continue (and possibly, expand) those efforts, I chose to open up a new website, there to bundle information about PDCLib, some embers from Pro-POS, long-overdue rants on POSIX / Linux / Open Source vs. PD, link collections regarding OS development (including, of course, the OS-FAQ), and other artifacts.

I hope / intend that site to get quite some traffic, as one of the reasons for it is that I'm tired of having to explain the same arguments over and over again, and want to place my reasoning there for easy cross-linking.

Now, I think I have a rather firm grasp on the English language, but I'd still like feedback from someone who's a native speaker who could point out when my choice of words doesn't quite match my intent. I want that site to be controversary, but constructive, with a touch of professionalism - not a rant / flame site. That's why language is important to me.

So, is any native English speaker with good language skills out there - preferably someone who doesn't feel too strongly about GNU/GPL so we won't get into heated debates about the contents - who would be willing to proof-read the occassional rant before it's being published? I don't think it will be more than one per month or so, and quite likely much less than that, so it won't take much of your time.

Drop me a message if you feel like it.

I know; I registered it only this morning, just before leaving for work, and it takes an hour or so before it is accessible so I couldn't even put a token index.html online yet. 8)

Three volunteers already; that should be quite enough. Thanks, dudes!
