Tech-review report of web-apps.xml ...

Fri May 2 17:27:03 UTC 2008

*Under "Get plugins for your web browser",
-> "A plugin is a small program which extends the capabilities of another program." ==> "A plugin is a small program which extends the capabilities of an existing program." (Better definition for a plugin)

-> to "run small, web-based programs." ==>  "to run small web-based programs." (Removed unnecessary comma).

*Under "Quickly install common plugins",
-> "Check that you are allowed to use this software before installing it." ==> "Make sure that you are allowed to use this software before installing it." (on account of better english)

-> "Many different multimedia formats are used on the Internet, and so you may find that you are unable to play some audio and video files without first installing an appropriate plugin." ==> "Many different multimedia formats are used on the Internet and you may find that you are unable to play some audio and video files without installing an appropriate plugin." (on account of more formal and better english)

*Under "Flash multimedia plugin",
-> The following paragraph seems to be creating confusion for beginners..
   "Installing the package as described above will download and install the plugin. You need an Internet connection for this to work. If, after installing the application, you need to download and install the plugin at a later time, enter the following command in a terminal: sudo dpkg-reconfigure flashplugin-nonfree" 
(I feel that the entire paragraph should be re-written in a better way so that a beginner can understand)

*No notable issues under "Instant messaging"

*Under "Design Web Pages",

-> Only Blufish editor has been mentioned. Other editors that can be mentioned are, "Screem HTML/XML Editor" and the good old "GEdit". If you think these two deserve a place in there, please let me know. I am interested in writing the guides for using those two.

Awaiting your response.. I can start working on the patch once i receive your response...
