Re: Proofreader for a technical article

Hi folks.

I'm looking for a proofreader for an article I'm writing for Linux
Journal.

I'm writing the article on speculation, that is I may or may not get paid
for the article depending on how they like the final version.

For that reason, I'd prefer to give the proofreader 8% of whatever I get,
which should be from $0 to $48 for the proofreader. I'll also see if I
can get the editors to credit you in the article as having done the
proofreading.

The article involves basic "./configure && make && make install", TCP/IP
client/server, mlockall, packet aggregation and
fragmentation, and challenge-response authentication. Good English skills
would also be helpful of course.

If you feel you understand the gist of these things and have reasonably
good English, please mail me at strombrg@xxxxxxxxxx Please don't reply to
this message - it'll just bounce.

Thanks!

Is this on the level?

I have been proofreading electro-technical English for a few years now. A
bit of publication credit could be real nice.
