<p>‎<span dir="auto"><span class="autocomment">Review: </span> new section</span></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>== Review ==<br /> <br /> There are a few points that should be evaluated on this page:<br /> * Overall, some of the wording on this page seems corny and informal. For example, in the introduction phrases like &quot;With such insight and understanding, your creation can truly shine.&quot;<br /> * Repetitive language is present throughout much of the article. For example: &quot;insight and understanding&quot; is used several times in the intro.<br /> * I have an issue with saying &quot;Linux has a tradition of not changing anything too quickly, and only changing things if the community deems it truly important to do so.&quot; The only instance in which this is true is in regards to kernel API changes for the user interface (not ''internal'' API changes), and it gives a false impression of what Linux really is. Development is quick, driven by the needs of the community, and developed through collective skills.<br /> * &quot;Getting Started with the Linux Shell&quot; section -- Bash, and most of the other shells referenced in this section are actually Unix Shells and not specific to Linux. Bash was developed for the GNU project as a free alternative drawing from many other shells and adding other improvements, but the historical description in this section does not apply to Bash. I can see how many of the Linux-specific utilities on the shell could fall under this description, but that's not the shell so we need to be a little more specific about what we are talking about.</div>
