Hi Leslie,

I did see your mail and attachment, but haven't had time to look it over
yet. You sent that mail only to me, btw , not the list - you wanted
reply-to-all I think :) Also, attachments will probably be rejected by the
list, so it would be better to post a link to the file and best to just use
the body of the email for your feedback.

While we are on the subject, have you given any consideration to using git
and editing source like the rest of us?  Frankly, your method creates a lot
oof extra work for you and for me ( or whoever looks at your review ).  I
am well acquainted with your personal and professional history at this
point, but I don't understand why you refuse to follow the established
workflow. If you were to follow the git-branch-work-commit process, your
changes would be readily apparent, your justification/comments would fit
nicely in the commit message, and applying your changes would require
*nearly zero effort* .  If the suggested change is in an ODF, applying
changes requires the additional step of manually editing the source. Then,
we have to build and published the updated document for you to see any
changes; that's a lot of extra work and you could just type `git pull` and
save us from it.

I recently added a section to the documentation guide[1] on creating a
patch using git.  As someone with experience in a very different workflow,
your review of *that* content[2] would be especially welcome.
