A diff fixing a ton of errors made by Andy King. The Diff follow:
L84 - added "s" to "thing"
L17 - do = does -- necessary? the "(s)" makes it a little confusing, but
because it is primarily "author" (not plural), then "does" makes more
sense.
L186 - take = make
L308 - how = who
L387 - added comma between "work" and "while"
L412 - perhaps add "If not, you should probably think about contributing to an
existing free software application. It will accomplish the same goals
that your own project would, and most likely make a better application
than if there were two seperate ones." or something to that degree --
sort of like where you talk about forking later on; except that later on
you're talking about how to deal with forks in the new project. This
isn't really "forking," but more like "fracturing." You do mention that
later, in "Deciding to proceed" but I can't decide which place is more
appropriate.
L484 - <nitpick> "useful gap" is awkward -- the gap isn't useful, the filling
of it is.</nitpick>
L488 - The = the
L490 - how = who
L504 - bellow = below
- "searching of their databases" might want to be changed to "database
searches of existing software"
L526 - On the /. frontpage its stated as "News for Nerds. Stuff that matters."
L528 - new = news
L229 - an = a
L230 - added comma between "here" and "so"
- added "is"
L464 - removed repetative "is"
L540 - an = a
L546 - rm'd "at"
L596 - added comma between "management" and "but"
L597 - be = get
L599 - switched comma position around "but"
L600 - added "s" to "remember"
L663 - added "be" between "can" and "flexible"
L736 - added "also" -- as it was before, it seems like the "but" is
contradicting your previous statement when in fact you are re-inforcing
it.
L1152 - removed "a" between "in" and "the"
L1184 - added "and" between "possible" and "are"
L1198 - removed comma between "been" and "changed"
L1271 - added "to" after "hesitate"
L1310 - distributiosn = distributions
L1328 - is the use of "problems" and then later "less problematic" redunant to
you?
L1348 - added "have" after "should"
L2285 - large = largely
