Dear volunteers,
Thank you for offering to copyedit the upcoming GNU Press book "Using
the GNU Compiler Collection." You may find the manuals in PDF for at
the following URLs.

As you can see, these documents are split into 20 sections.
Currently, I have recorded the following volunteers:
Ciaran O'Riordan
James Howison Editing gcc.007.pdf and gcc.014.pdf
Richard Kreuter
Lisa Goldstein
Stephen Compall Editing gcc.005.pdf
Alexandros Papadopoulos Editing gcc.016.pdf and gcc.017.pdf
Jack Nerad
Paul Crable
We hope that each person edits two sections. I'd suggest that
you pick a section that has not yet been edited, and do that. We aim
for each section to be edited by two different people.
I do not think that the GNU has an official style. However, GCC
itself does have a small style guide which can be found in the
"Spelling, terminology and markup" section of this webpage:
http://gcc.gnu.org/codingconventions.html
Once you are finished editing a portion, please e-mail the
mailing list with the section you edited, and any corrections that need
to be made. You may either send a patch directly against the Texinfo
source; or you may use standard errata notation like so:
p. 15, line 10: "...something up with which we will not put."
should read "...something we will not put up with."
You may notice black boxes in the right margin. These boxes are
inserted by Texinfo to show that a line is extending into the right
margin. If the protrusion is not noticable, ignore it. If it is
unsightly, please suggest an alternate wording that allows the line to
wrap in a nicer fashion.
We do know there is a problem with the way the manual is typeset
now. The PDFs have the wrong paper size and the text is jammed against
the top margin. This will be rectified in the next series of proofs
that are prepared.
