Hi!
I have a suggestion that would make a difference when visiting your
otherwise eminent website:
http://sources.redhat.com/automake/automake.html#Introduction. The sentence
"The developer expresses the recipe to build *his* package in a Makefile"
must be wrong since I'm a woman and a user and have packages I want to build
and those packages are mine, i.e *hers* would be correct in this case. (I
know that his could be considered neutral but really, it doesn't feel that
way.)
Suggestion: change the sentence to "The developer expresses the recipe to
build *his/hers* package in a Makefile" or "The developer expresses the
recipe to build *the* package in a Makefile" or "The developer expresses the
recipe to build *their* package in a Makefile"
How about it?
Thanks for good support, best regards
/Chris
