and another news worthy of mention for the documentation section is that the "Getting started with symfony" tutorial has already been fully translated in Italian! :)

Please get a native English speaker to proof read Fabien's writing: nobody writes "softwares" (see 02-Prerequisites in the new Getting Started guide). "Software" is a continuous (not a discrete) noun and doesn't need a plural.

Hi Ed,
so you are volunteering? I can give you write access to the documentation repository that you can start proof reading and correcting all the documentation. In case you dont mind, because there are a few thousand pages.

@Ed Andersen: wow, do you know that all the symfony core team members work for free to provide people like you a free framework? By the way, I have fixed the typo.

Thanks to Ed, quite a few people sent me an email to help us proof-reading the symfony documentation. Thanks to them. There are so many ways to contribute back to symfony and so many great people in the community ;)

Yeah, I guess I do work for free. But only, you know, when I want to.
