Re: [Review needed] Fedora at the National Library of Technology
Thanks Ben. I'm just looking for editing guidelines. I'll be sure to avoid using
sic in articles that I edit for the magazine.

Thanks for the review! I'm inclined to leave off the '[sic]' for two
reasons:
1. I don't think the grammar is too unusual, especially for non-native English
speakers
2. Using 'sic' seems a little passive-aggressive a lot of times.
I feel like this would call attention to non-native English phrasing without any benefit.
I'm open to a counter argument, though. And I'm definitely not trying to imply
that you're being passive-aggressive in suggesting it. :-)
