Yap i remember that you volunteered last night, but i didn't have your 
e-mail.

Hannie knows more about the proofread in general, the part of the manual 
that needs you most is from the start of the chapter till the start of 
the nautilus section. Do this for start and if you have more time 
continue with the rest of the chapter, but contact Hannie first.

Let me know what you think.

Thank you for your time!
