I have some experience with MS SQL Server, so maybe I could write the = "Converting Microsoft SQL Server databases to InterBase" topic. It = should probably be Firebird rather than InterBase, by the way, but = that's the way it's listed on the IDBH outline. Are there any writing guidelines, for example, on: - writing style (first/third person? formal/informal? conversational?) - structure - acronyms (do we spell them out the first time in each section? never?) - how experienced we assume the reader is I realize enforcing a consistent writing style when many different = authors are involved is next to impossible, but I think it's a good = thing to consider. Then again, I've never written anything that got published in my life, = so what do I know? Is the MSSQL migration topic taken, or are there any suggestions for = something more important to work with first? Marcelo Lopez Ruiz |
