It sounds like very interesting project! Nice to hear that you are
taking a stab at it. I have a few comments. First of all, I will ask
a few native speakers to make a review of your work. Then I want to ask
you to continue your work on docs/grub.texi. If you want to go deeper in
this I would like to ask you to take a look at additional documents like
docs/grub-dev.texi or Multiboot and Multiboot2 specifications (you can
find both of them in multiboot and multiboot branches of the GRUB git
repository). Of course I would prefer if you work on one document at
a time. This should ease our cooperation.

Last but not least, some lines in these documents are very long. I would
like to have them wrapped at around 80th column to ease reading. If you
could do that in separate patch that would be perfect. I think that this
should be last step in doing docs cleanups.

...and if you could finish this work, at least for docs/grub.texi and
docs/grub-dev.texi, before the 2.06 release that would be fantastic...

Daniel
