As regards this point, I will be happy to help out with fixing the English in any ICS documentation that is done. I have previously worked with people who have written documentation in their language, then used a web translator to convert that into English. This English is funny at best and wrong at worst. But, since I have no problems with English and a computer engineer, I am often able to 'fix' this to what a native speaker would write. So, if someone does start to write in not-so-good English or in a foreign language (that is supported by a web translator), we can work it out!
