<div dir="ltr">Hello,<div><br></div><div>I've been in the software industry for over tens. I've been primarily working on web applications. However, I've always had a fascination with 3D graphics and games. I first came across Blender back in 2014 when I was toying around with jMonkeyEngine3. I was too busy to put much time into learning Blender. However, I now have more free time available. While reading the new, non-wiki documentation, I decided it would be a good idea for me to help polish the documentation as I read through it.</div><div><br></div><div>Because I am just learning Blender, I don't know that I am ready to make large, significant contributions. At first, my contributions will just be polishing-like in nature.</div><div><br></div><div>Here is a list of the polishing I'd like to make while going through the documentation from start to finish:</div><div><br></div><div><div> * Fix typos.</div><div><br></div><div><div> * Fix grammar mistakes.</div></div><div><br></div><div> - Misuse of commas.</div><div><br></div><div> * Fix when "and, " is not followed by an independent clause.</div><div><br></div><div> - Either remove the comma or make the clause following the comma independent.</div><div><br></div><div> * Remove comma splices.</div><div><br></div><div> - Add missing Oxford commas to list of items.</div><div><br></div><div> - Etc.</div><div><br></div><div> * Fix inconsistencies.</div><div><br></div><div><div> - Add punctuation to figure captions. (I've noticed that some have it and some don't.)</div></div><div><br></div><div> - Make sure things are referred to consistently. E.g., *Edit mode*, *Edit Mode*, editmode, edit mode will all be changed to *Edit mode* or *Edit Mode*.</div><div><br></div><div> * Add more links where necessary.</div><div><br></div><div>I'll be referring to a writer's reference as I make grammar and sentence structure changes.</div><div><br></div><div>There may be other categories of fixes.</div><div><br></div><div>I've read <a href="https://www.blender.org/manual/about/contribute.html">https://www.blender.org/manual/about/contribute.html</a> and its related pages.</div><div><br></div><div>I'll probably submit patches for an entire top-level section (Getting Started, Interface, etc) or each sub-section as I finish them.</div><div><br></div><div>Let me know if there is anything else you'd like me to look out for while I read the manual.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature">Danny Hurlburt<br></div>
