@Aussiedude & all:

As Kernon already mentioned … the small fixes alone – such as the correct formatting of text & stuff – spares the other editors a lot of work and time.

For example the usage of the different key templates (see [1]) instead of writing out"[SHIFT]+[x]".
Or the usage of whole sentences (beginning with a capital letter and ending with a dot) instead of 3 single non-coherent words.
Re-writing whole sentences or even paragraphs without changing the content to be more clear.
And many more…

All hail candy!!

-I think that the blenderpdf manual should be updated to the 2.4 era…
some of us like to just have the whole to take wherever whenever than
having to "return to the well" over and over again..

… but I'll see what I can do.. to append to the table..

The candy… remember to hail it..

All hail candy!! (and don't forget to smash :) )

@Aussiedude
Well, I can only recommend serious editing/writing of articles to users that are more experienced. However, your lack of experience shouldn't stop you from making minor edits like spelling and capitalizations. For example, the "b" in Blender should always be capitalized because, in our case, it's a product name, not a kitchen appliance. Correcting little things like that really do make a difference. So, editing an article doesn't mean a major rewrite, it can often be something very minor. Just take the time to be accurate in whatever changes you make.

Good Luck.

What about the Blender User that still feels hes not very experienced (like me) should he still try to edit some of these documents and even try and make his own?
