I am writing a blog post about the sidebar. Please have a look at [1].
Any comments are welcome.
Some spelling/grammatical/meaning corrections:
Para "The third group": 'changes where necessary' > 'changes were necessary'
(spelling)
Para "The core implementation": OMIT 'that is' (redundant)
Para "The sidebar is": CHANGE 'may no (not yet) panel' > 'may not yet be a
panel' (better phrasing)
Para "The deck that": CHANGE 'the user, you, is currently' > 'the user is currently'
OR "you are currently' (better phrasing)
Hm, I did that on purpose to address the reader directly.
Same Para: UI is undefined (ambiguity for non computer literate reader)
Same Para: CHANGE 'at the same time makes' > 'at the same time making'
(corrects change of verb tense)
Para "The OpenOffice.org name": CHANGE 'to difficult' > 'too difficult'
(spelling)
Para "The name "sidebar"": CHANGE 'every' > 'ever' (spelling)
Para "Up to now": UXers is undefined. (ambiguity for non computer literate
reader - should it be User Experience testers or Users?)
Have to come up with good replacement. User experience ...
Para "Like in toolbars": CHANGE 'Like in toolbars' > 'As in toolbars' (better
phrasing)
Same Para, first bullet point: CHANGE 'adavantage' > 'advantage' (spelling)
Same Para: INSERT 'of most screens' > 'of most modern screens' (better
description)
Para: "A little known feature": CHANGE 'are extensions' > 'is the extensions'
(grammatical error)
Para: "You can add": CHANGE 'changes like for example changes in the selection' >
'changes such as different selections" (better phrasing, avoids multiple use of word
'changes')
Para: "The toolbars and dialogs like": CHANGE 'like' > 'such as' (better
phrasing)
Para: "OpenOffice is an": INSERT 'We don't want youyr money." > 'We don't want your
money, but if you wish to makre a donation <link to donatipon site>' (Good strategy not to miss
possible donations)
That is what I wanted to avoid.
I applied the rest of the changes (some of my errors are so
embarrassing). Thank you very much.
