Dear Harry,<br>
<br>
I started to proofread the content of the osmfoundation.org
website. Here are the first suggestions for correction:<br>
<br>
page:<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Licence/About_The_Licence_Change">http://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Licence/About_The_Licence_Change</a> <br>
the misspelled word:<br>
<b>Contribtutor<br>
</b>should be Contributor<br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Licence/Licence_and_Legal_FAQ">http://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Licence/Licence_and_Legal_FAQ</a><br>
<b>advertisment<br>
</b>should be advertisement<b> </b>(2 times on this page)<b><br>
<br>
</b>I do proofreading with a PHP script which crawls website pages
and finds misspelled words automatically. The problem with
spelling errors is that they may confuse search engines (and their
users), besides correction of such errors is a part of the
so-called pre-translation, - if in future one decides to translate
website in other languages, it would simplify computer-assisted
translation significantly. Let alone that it improves the general
quality of a text.<br>
<br>
However, I encountered the following problem. In meetings minutes
there are a lot of just mistyped words, dozens and dozens of them.
For example:<br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Board_Meeting_Minutes_2014-04-29">http://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Board_Meeting_Minutes_2014-04-29</a><b>

basicly<br>
</b>etc.<b><br>
</b><br>
I tried to login osmfoundation.org website and correct these
obviously misspelled words, but my login from the OSM.org website
did not work.<b> </b>At the same time it is hard to select
significant errors in the noise created my mistyped words in
minutes.<b> </b>It would be better to correct all obviously
misspelled words, so that remaining ones stand out more visibly.<b>
<br>
<br>
</b>I can either correct typing errors myself if I could login, or
prepare an exhaustive list of these spelling errors if I knew that
this long (and time-consuming to prepare) list will be actually
used.<b><br>
<br>
</b>With best regards,<br>
