<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;">What type of reviewer are you looking for. I will explain. I am a research analyst with a technology company (my areas of expertise are in technology (hardware and software generalist, (was a hardware designer for 10 years, and software developer/ programmer for about 20 yrs) and currently a specialist in Business Applications. I do a substantial amount of technical writing in many areas. I have used samba, but not recently, and I have been a linux biggot since 2004. I can write good English, and can make complex ideas easily understandable.<br><br>Therefore, I can review and edit for you the Samba team. --In English and some French. <br><br>Cheers<br><br>Leslie<br><br><br>--- On <b>Wed, 1/21/09, Robin Laing <i><Robin.Laing@drdc-rddc.gc.ca></i></b> wrote:<br><blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left:
