I was running through "Installing Cricket for the Complete Beginner" today, and noted a few grammatical errors, along with a little formatting inconsistency that might make it tough for someone who's a newbie sysadmin (as opposed to just a newbie Cricket users) to grok. I've attached a patch with some proposed changes that 1) straighten up some apparent typos and 2) try to make the "text decoration" style a little more internally-consistent. (I attempted to follow the standard used by O'Reilly and other publishers of technical books, to achieve more "newbie-friendliness" through familiarity.) While I tried to steer clear of "editorializing" about style, tone, and voice (which I found to be generally good), the patch also includes some small changes in construction, aimed at clarifying a few minor awkwardnesses and increasing encouragement of The Serious Newb(tm). ;-) My feelings will be unhurt if these are rejected. Finally, I disclaim any warranty of perfection, as 1) I'm human, and 2) I did this during a very short break at work. Thanks to the Cricket team and community for maintaining a great tool! Cheers, - -sth sam hooker|[email protected]|http://www.noiseplant.com Are you satisfied?
