[Aquamacs-devel] Manual: seeking volunteers

[siemsen at ucar.edu]

I volunteer.

Here's some Aquamacs manual errata that I collected a while back and  
never sent.  I'd fix these first...

1. "sepcified" should be "specified".
2. When read with from Aquamacs using Help->Aquamacs Help (slow),  
things look good.  When reading aquamacs.pdf using Preview, occurences  
of "->" appear with funny upside-down question mark characters instead  
of the ">".
3. In Table 2, the line for Command-. has an extra right-parenthesis.
4. In Table 2, the line for Command-/ is screwed-up.  Besides,  
Command-/ isn't bound to anything in Aquamacs.
5. In Table 3, there's a little "4", but I can't find the footnote  
that goes with it.

I'd be happy to take some direction about what else to fix.

As for time-frame, I'm willing to put in some time this weekend or the  
next.

I once maintained TeX and Metafont for a university, but I haven't  
touched it since, so I'm rusty.  Also, I don't yet understand how the  
TeX source gets turned into whatever-it-is that is displayed when one  
does Help->Aquamacs Help.  But I'll give it a try.
