English native speakers wanted for CPC Wiki

[Andreas Micklei]

Hi all,

in the last days the CPC Wiki has seen increased activity. Many of the
new articles could use a little rephrasing by english native speakers.
If english is your native language and you can spare half an hour of the
time, why not make one CPC Wiki page better?

Look here for worthwile candiates:

or here:

Oh, and by the way: You all know the new home of the CPC Wiki
http://www.cpcwiki.eu/ right? Please update your bookmarks and any links
pointing to the wiki or to articles inside the wiki.

Thanks in advance!

regards,
Andreas Micklei

Indeed, the past few days have seen some 70 (!) new pages,and thusly
we have finally passed the 2.5K mark. Hurray!

As Andreas pointed out, the New Pages page (or the Recent Changes page
here: http://www.cpcwiki.eu/index.php/Special:RecentChanges ; it also
has every page that's been changed, but new pages are clearly marked
with an N and it's easier to read) is a good place to start if you
want to occasionally help. There are also RSS feeds on these pages so
you can follow contributions and act whenevery you feel like it...

Cheers

Hi,
I'm a native english speaker, I browsed the wiki last night and
yes, there's a few
english errors, but generally the standard is very high, nothing to be
ashamed of.
I've created an account so that I can "tune" the english, but I also
have quite a bit
of content I could add too. My "area of expertise" is hardware
developement / repair
which seemed to be lacking in some areas. Is there any particular
direction you intend
for the wiki, or is anything good. I have quite a few hardware add-ons
I've developed
over the years, which have never been put online. I thought the wiki
might be the place
to release them into the wild? I might even do a guide to repairing
CPCs if I get around
to it.

Let me know,
Bryce.

Also watch out for "it gives" (from "es gibt") where we would say "there
is".

No, there's no specific 'direction' for the wiki, anything and
everything goes.

But, when a developer of old (or contemporary) comes along with things
he could contribute on his creations, then that's extra tasty and
interesting... :)
