> Could you have a look at wiki/src/contribute/mission.html on contrib/16540-publish-identity and tell me about any error in the English text. I’ll ask for a last round of comments once it’s published but I want to check with you first that my English is good.

I’ve pushed a branch:

https://0xacab.org/cbrownstein/tails/commits/contrib/16540-publish-identity

Note 1: I didn’t review the comments in the HTML. Let me know if I should.
Note 2: Wrt “be helpful” (at line 119), helpful to our users or helpful in general?
Note 3: Contraction (“don’t”) at line 141. I’m figuring that since we’re using the words “no bullshit,” we can be a bit less formal with our language here. :-)

Uuuu, tons of small fixes! Thanks @cbrownstein!

I’m not sure about bd4deb1fab. I actually changed “providing” into
“giving out” at last moment because I realized that “giving out” also
included the meaning of it being gratis and that’s another very
important part of our DNA (on top of being free software).

So, if I’m correct and if you don’t think that “giving out” makes the
sentence sound weird, I’ll revert bd4deb1fab.

> Note 1: I didn’t review the comments in the HTML. Let me know if I should.

No! I’ll delete them after I published something and people had time to
comment on it.

> Note 2: Wrt “be helpful” (at line 119), helpful to our users or helpful in general?

I think it’s a good attitude in general to try to be helpful: as members
of a team, as a project towards other projects, and to our users as well.

> Note 3: Contraction (“don’t”) at line 141. I’m figuring that since we’re using the words “no bullshit,” we can be a bit less formal with our language here. :-)

Yes. This is an example of contraction than, when avoided, actually
sound weirder to me (and kind of make me stumble upon sentences).

You’re correct. Please revert bd4deb1fab.

In c9141f357e I split the sentence. I think the change makes it more clear that “helpful” means helpful in general. Feel free to not merge this change if you disagree.
