Yes, I guessed that. I think we can skip writing instructions for
Windows-based apps until there is demand for them.

We can put these instructions in the bug comments.

Thanks :)

I'll postpone correcting English and formatting of the articles until after
the vacation. So, I decided to publish your pages as they are, as it is
better to have information available, even though it might not be ideal in
some regards.

Here are a few general comments on the articles:

1. Could you please format your footnotes with <ref> and <references /> as
    described in the manual: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Footnotes ?

2. Please format lists using appropriate syntax:
    http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:List

3. It is better to link from text instead of pasting links directly into the
    article text, as intended for hypertext.

    I.e., please don't write this:

         You can find more information about Alchemy on the
         official website: http://al.chemy.org/.

    But instead this:

         You can find more information about Alchemy on the
         [http://al.chemy.org/ official website].

    This also concerns mailto: links.

4. I assume you don't need the "Tablet setup in GTKMM based applications
    (Inkscape, Synfig Studio)" page anymore. Could you please delete it?

5. I've noticed one mistake which you often do: you write "... does not
    compatible with ...", whereas it should be written "... is not compatible
    with ...", because compatible is an adjective, so describes a property,
    not an action. OTOH, "... does not work ..." is correct.

6. Please use =Heading 1= as the top level header syntax and the
    corresponding lower level syntax for lower level headers, at least for
    the time being. I've fixed this in your articles.

Could you please go through your articles and correct these, when time
allows? Thank you very much for your help!

Oh, and could you please add yourself as a Wiki contributor to the "People"
section on the front page?

Thanks :)

Sincerely,
Nick
