[raiph]

bart or rafael should vouch for me.

I'd like to be able to edit marketing related content on mozilla.org. Obviously
there's a big trust issue with such access. Hmm. Let's say I can limit edits to
one of four levels, each including the earlier levels. You tell me which to
stick to:
1. Fix typos or grammatical errors, as in the patch below.
2. Fix text that's inaccurate, according to my careful research.
3. Fix text that's not fair propaganda. (I would like to see a policy document
on mozilla.org and fair propaganda.) For example, I consider the statement on
this security-announcement page that US-CERT recommended users switch browser to
be unfair propaganda. (US-CERT only suggested that users consider switching.)
4. Write neutral or fair propaganda text.

The link from doctor to create a bug about the change below... has a bug. Maybe
you know about that? I'll wait for a response to this before filing a doctor bug.

Raiph: I will need you to fill out the CVS request form at

Following up on this bug, Raphael still needs to vouch and I am not sure I ever
saw a CVS form come through.
