Hey discussion@,
in a few days, we want to release a timeline with FSFE's successes in the last 12 years. It consists of ~30-40 small boxes with a headline and some description and is written in English - unfortunately not by a native speaker.
So I hope that one or two native English speakers may have time on monday (25th) at lunchtime/afternoon to review the texts we have written and make them sound natural and therefore more professional. I think you won't need more than 15-20 minutes for this.
Thank you very much in advance!
Best regards, Max

If you had sent a link to them, we could have done this, but I won't check this mailbox again for a few days now.
Hope that informs for future times,

Hi everyone,
the texts are now ready to be proofread! We are working in a pad [1] to finalise the text. Tomorrow morning, the proofreading should be finished to include the texts in the timeline [2].
You don't have to add/delete content! Please try to make it sound more proper and if possible, economise words. I kindly ask you to use British English to make it consistent.
Thank you very much for helping with this! Native speakers are very important for our work, especially in contexts like this one.
Best regards, Max

... I've had a go at [1]. It's already quite good but still has a few rough spots. Some things I didn't change because I wasn't sure about the meaning.
Is there no item about the OOXML-battle? This was a large issue in Switzerland.
Cheers, Theo
