| nettime: Text Work |
At Geert's recommendation, I would like to make a request and make an offer to all of you subscribing to nettime: Offer: I and the volunteers who join me from the ranks of English-first language nettimers (or English-as-second-language!) would like to function as copy-readers for texts on nettime -- where someone has written an english text and would like help in cleaning it up from a formal point-of-view. This is not a translation service -- at least, I am not a qualified translator -- I have been, in ages past, a newspaper copy-reader/proof-reader, however, and would offer that service to you... I have done this for the Media&Ethics conference and for countless other papers and publications... I do not proof to The Queens English, but to North American standard English... Request: Anybody interested in helping me if there is a demand for this service... At any rate, I see this as a possibility for those of you who do not have the requisite English to get your texts up to publishable standards -- and I see it as a chance for me to talk about your ideas more directly. At the moment I would like to limit this project to one paper a week as it can take many hours to work on.
