<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" target="_blank">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>
