Manual: seeking volunteers

[davidswelt]

We need volunteers to go over the manual and edit it.  The major  
points are easy to explain, but we need to mention the customization  
variables so that people can choose some of the Emacs functions, for  
example for printing or spelling.

The list of items is essentially visible in the aquamacs/doc/latex/
changelog.tex file.
The manual is written in LaTeX and contained in aquamacs/doc/latex/
aquamacs.tex.
Use "make" to recreate the html/pdf versions.

If you'd like to volunteer to write a section or to edit part of the  
manual, please reply to this message on the list!  Please state your  
time-frame.

Thanks
- David

I volunteer.

Here's some Aquamacs manual errata that I collected a while back and  
never sent.  I'd fix these first...

1. "sepcified" should be "specified".
2. When read with from Aquamacs using Help->Aquamacs Help (slow),  
things look good.  When reading aquamacs.pdf using Preview, occurences  
of "->" appear with funny upside-down question mark characters instead  
of the ">".
3. In Table 2, the line for Command-. has an extra right-parenthesis.
4. In Table 2, the line for Command-/ is screwed-up.  Besides,  
Command-/ isn't bound to anything in Aquamacs.
5. In Table 3, there's a little "4", but I can't find the footnote  
that goes with it.

I'd be happy to take some direction about what else to fix.

As for time-frame, I'm willing to put in some time this weekend or the  
next.

I once maintained TeX and Metafont for a university, but I haven't  
touched it since, so I'm rusty.  Also, I don't yet understand how the  
TeX source gets turned into whatever-it-is that is displayed when one  
does Help->Aquamacs Help.  But I'll give it a try.
