Hi Claudia,

Yeah, it's still something I'm figuring out as we go along. It's only the
very beginning.

I'm realizing, for example, pads and email threads are not ideal for going
over proofreading/minor editing issues with the author(s). Hence my
suggestion of a quick chat for going over everything one by one.

Style differences are fine and I'm not going to be heavy-handed. But if
wording is awkward and clearly not written by a native speaker, I will
suggest minor changes to make things sound more natural, flow better, or
reduce ambiguities.

As for the *how* of going about proofreads/edits, it's something we'll
figure out along the way. I like the idea of a quick IRC or other text chat
(also so we can get to publishing within the specified three days), but
there may be issues with that as well. We'll have to figure out what works.

Thanks,

Noor
