Tille,

If someone else replied to this already, I missed it...

I took a brief look at the BG.  FWIW, I don't find any 
significant language problems.  Yes, there are a few
glitches here and there, but they're mostly minor, and 
anyway I've seen writing in HOWTOs by native speakers 
that is not as good as in the BG.) 

If you really need more detailed comment,
I could eventually find time for a longer comment -- 
however, I don't think there is really a significant 
problem with the doc.

Cheers,

Michael
