Getting started: DUG

[Jonathan Roberts]

Hi,

I've been looking over all the information and feel I'm ready to get
started. The only trouble is that I'm reluctant to in case I over step
the mark and make changes that I think are necessary/useful but others
might not agree with and I'd hate to create further work for people in
undoing my changes!

For now there are some paragraphs on the DUG that definitely need a
few changes just to read properly and I guess I'll make those as
they're only going to be minor and it will be a start :D Guess I'll
just take things gradually and ask that somebody tell me if I do
something horrible and I'll fix it!

Yours,

Jon

Just go ahead. All changes in the wiki can be reverted. So we won't 
really lose any content.

Also, be:

i. Bold
ii. Incremental

By saving incrementally, it makes it easier to identify when changes
occur.  We can also head off any mistakes or offer style advice/changes
while you are working.

If you do the opposite (save every change in one big pass), it is harder
to separate out various changes.  Also, comments back can then be
overwhelming. :)
