okay, please find a patch attached. I used the following to search for problems: egrep --color -r "[^A-Za-z][Hh]e[^A-Za-z]" en-US egrep --color -r "[^A-Za-z][Hh]im[^A-Za-z]" en-US egrep --color -r "[^A-Za-z][Hh]is[^A-Za-z]" en-US I also noticed that the section "OpenSSL flaw in Debian Etch" uses the male pronoun to talk about the OpenSSL maintainer. Now this is probably no problem because the OpenSSL maintainer probably (without having checked) identifies as male. But the paragraph never mentions the identity of the OpenSSL maintainer. So I wonder why the gender of the OpenSSL maintainer is important information in this paragraph. If the name of the maintainer is not given, then why give a hint to their gender? For the technical point this paragraph makes, the gender does not matter. So I wonder whether this paragraph should be made neutral as well. What do you think? cheers, josch
