Hi If you are a native english speaker (or just good in english) have limited amount of time but still want to contribute You can be on the other side and contribute to Pharo. Please consider reading the books and making Pull Requests on the github repositories. You do not have to know Pillar, you do not have to install LaTeX, you do not have to know LaTeX, you do not even have to be good in Pharo, you just have to read and do a PR request. All our books are built automatically on PRs! https://github.com/SquareBracketAssociates/ I would like to publicly thanks Sean de Nigris Ted Brunz Rene Pierre Mages for their large edit pass on the books.

Are there any that you would prioritise, or just a top to bottom? And are we assuming American or British English? -- Sent from: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-Smalltalk-Users-f1310670.html
Hi Jeff Thanks for your interest. I think that reading what you like can be a good criteria. Or Pharo by Example Pharo with Style Learning OOD with TDD are all good candidates We are working on new book such as language interpreters and it can be really fun (but this is a personal taste). About choice of american vs. british I do not know. We are usually using behavior and visualization so probably american. Now I would say that it depends on the work. I would go for the one requires the least amount of work.

Thanks for the acknowledgement! I think contributing to the documentation is as important as contributing to the codebase. I'm encouraged to see the increased activity with the booklets (new publications as well as new edits) over the last 6 months. A strong library covering many topics will help with promoting Pharo to those who do not know it (yet). I plan to resume copy-editing soon (as my workload is starting to drop off after a very busy period lately). -t -- Sent from: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-Smalltalk-Users-f1310670.html

Benefits of contributing to the book(let)s on GitHub: 1. Easy way to give back to community - even edit directly in GH web UI 2. Have an excuse to learn Pillar syntax (although for the most part you can just ignore it if you're copy editing) 3. And the most important: Propel your Pharo learning! Copy editing forces you to really think about what the author is trying to say. In order to reword a passage, you have to *understand* it. So this is the antidote to forgetting what you read the moment you are done, or worse - getting to the end and realizing you have no idea WTH you just read :) ----- Cheers, Sean -- Sent from: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-Smalltalk-Users-f1310670.html
