082212@1915hrsEDT - In the Choice of Software section, I am unsure of the use/meaning of the word “fundament”. Were you meaning “fundamental” or possibly “foundation”? ~vtel


Foundation is the better word indeed.

082312@0929hrsEDT - Foundation exchanged for fundament. ~vtel


Re: Project Charter 1st draft

I tend to ramble on when I get in front of a keyboard, as Eric knows from my admin list postings. ;) Please read/comment on my 1st draft of the Project Charter. We can, of course, edit/amend or just totally scrap that one. ~vtel


Some sentences are in the first person: “running a MediaWiki based knowledgebase for the customer Helpdesk of which I am the teamleader”, “I asked Patrick…”. Which is fine and makes for a less formal read. But in that case, I suggest to sign the article. The reader may wonder “Who's talking here?” — Niki Sat Aug 25 07:38:05 CEST 2012


Niki, the section to which you are referring is Eric's (Alien Bob) output. I only made a minor grammatical correction there. I'll let Eric respond to you regarding this. — V. T. Eric Layton 2012/08/25 11:38


I have already re-written my first-person crap ;-) I should have paid better attention.

Why? First person is good! Fun to read and everything. I would keep the first person and then sign the article. But then, it's a question of personal preferences. Niki Kovacs


I wonder if the Language considerations wouldn't be more aptly placed in the Wiki News page. What do you think? Niki Kovacs
