Thanks for all your hard work!
Translators, please merge in some/all of these changes into your translations as you deem necessary.
I'll try to make a second draft today.

Thanks! Robin
Here are the results of my editing pass through the newsletter, posted to the lists per your request. These files include a slightly modified version of Karoly Negyesi's editing. As is so often the case with proofreading, many decisions come down to a matter of the writer's style, with more than one wording or punctuation choice being correct. In this case, I allowed a few minor technicalities to remain uncorrected because correcting them would have, in my opinion, compromised an informal and conversational tone intended by the author. Any reader of literary classics understands that sometimes purity of grammar is not the only measure of good writing! There were also a few places where I added or changed a word or two in the interest of clarity, particularly where the word originally used had more than one possible meaning in that context.
I apologize that I could not do as careful a job today as I might usually prefer, owing to the fact that I have a (work-related, non-Drupal) software release for a customer due to be in RC status tonight -- and they changed the spec on me *twice* already today.
The file is in ODT and XHTML formats from OpenOffice. I created this edited version with change tracking enabled for your convenience. I offer these changes as suggestions, and will not be offended if some or all of them are rejected by the editor, who is ultimately the decision-maker.
Overall, the newsletter was a very enjoyable read, and I thank those who worked to produce it!
Kind regards,
Scott
