We should probably update
http://www.projectaon.org/en/Sanctum/Howto-join
by removing or otherwise marking (strike out?) the two
points "Transcribing" and "Proofread the transcriptions".
Also the text on
http://www.projectaon.org/en/Sanctum/Howto-edit
does not seem to reflect reality:
3. Make sure you have an unabridged version of the book you intend to
proofread.
It surely helps to have the unabridged version of the book available,
but it is not a must. So this point should be worded differently or
removed. Maybe
"It helps to have an unabridged version of the book you intend to
proofread at hand, but it is not a must. Note that, the abridged
version of the book is not helpful."
4. Download a copy of the book from the assignments lists.
This points to the raw text files. Does it really make sense to use
those for editting? Wouldn't it be better to provide the one page HTML
version for editting? Or we could simply point to the test area?
Finally, the information on the Assignments page
http://www.projectaon.org/en/Sanctum/Assignments
also does not seem to be completely up-to-date: The text of VotM is
still listed as being in the proofreading stage (or whatever the "In
Progress" means).

Ingo
