Hi David,

thanks, that would be awesome!

So, depending on your idea of proofreading and technical expertise,
there would be two different ways to do it:

* You could try the guide out, and note down the areas that need an
update and your suggestion for how to update them in an issue on Gitlab.

* Or you could edit the guide's source .rst files in your fork and make
one merge request per chapter with your updates, and then we'll talk
about your changes there in the MR discussion thread.

And if you have questions about how something works before you make a
change to the text, please ask those in the documentation chat channel
at https://chat.inkscape.org/channel/documentation .

Does that answer your question?

Kind Regards
  Maren
