It's not too bad, but the Hildon HIG needs to be reviewed by a native English speaker. As should all your documents and announcements really.
This report is a bit vague due to its nature, but I can understand that you don't have time to come up with a list of stuff to fix. :-/
please do us a favor and provide a url. i can actually deal w/ these, but it's much easier if i get a url. heck, provide the url and assign it to me (not more than 2 bugs at a time) and i'll deal w/ them. i have four major flights in the coming 3 weeks, so i might have time on them.
I would also be interested to know where the source Docbook XML is, presuming it's DocBook. That information should really be in a "Contributing" section in the introduction or an appendix.

Hi, I believe this is LaTeX not Docbook, and it's not yet available in an SCM accessible outside Nokia.
No, if you look at the generated HTML, you can see that it's generated from DocBook. Which makes sense, because they obviously used the GNOME HIG as a starting point.
See http://wiki.maemo.org/Task:Proof-read_Human_Interface_Guidelines Let's try crowd-sourcing the proof-reading of the HIG, section by section. I have started by example, with the Introduction: http://wiki.maemo.org/Task:Proof-read_Human_Interface_Guidelines/Introduction I will launch a call for contributions on maemo-community and on Talk. Once we have a comprehensive review of the document, we will need to get the changes reviewed by the document maintainers and integrated into the HIG itself.
3 chapters reviewed so far. Thanks to qole!
Thanks to Soumya and Jarmo, the changes have now been integrated into the HIG included in the Fremantle development guide available in the wiki at http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/Maemo_5_Developer_Guide/Human_Interface_Guidelines Closing this bug as FIXED.
