==Introduction==
===Aims===
The aim of this (working) paper/guide are as follows:
*To provide guidance for editors in developing good writing skills while avoiding common mistakes.
*To establish a consistent series of terms/abbreviations/nomenclature to be used.
*To discuss the overall work processes involved in the Wiki, along with how and where editing/writing fits into these processes.
**(''TBC - Discussion of Translation vis-à-vis Editing/Writing?'')
===Why Now?===
I actually have a day job now, so I anticipate becoming very busy in the near future, for an indeterminate period of time.
As with the Wiki, the volume of work involved may ebb and flow according to the different times of the year, but I figured that I might as well get this out there and ready for consumption (or for someone to take over writing in the future) before I get overwhelmed. (Insert something about giving a man a fish versus teaching a man to fish here.)
My job involves a metric ton of writing/editing/redoing-both-of-the-above as it is, so many of the skills are transferable to doing something like this anyway (and vice versa).
