For example, tell the reader to "try the subsequent examples using ConTeXt Live web page" (as opposed to 'almost all of the examples in the series can be run online'). On any example that does not work, indicate such at the time. - "abt 40 euros" is missing "ou". - "combo" should be "combination". - "In Windows", "In Mac", etc. can be "Windows", "Mac", etc. - Use the active voice (it shortens text). - Avoid using abbreviations and jargon. As Marco noted, why not apply such wonderful effort to the wiki?
