I mostly didn't want to either (1) step on another volunteer's toes, or
(2) accidentally copyedit an obsolete revision that's about to be
replaced. (In absence of a more formal way of checking stuff out, I
figure the smart thing is to ask if anyone else is working on it.)

I certainly didn't want to discourage you in this initiative. My
_personal_ guess is that it would have slim to no benefits, but that's
mostly a hunch and I'd be delighted to be mistaken.
Meanwhile, I'm still trying to pitch in. If someone knows if any
documents other than LPI Certification Self-Study Guide need English
language review, please just point me! I'll be done with that piece
pretty soon.
