@kyleniemeyer, sorry, I don't think I can take on another right now.

[ronikobrosly]

@kyleniemeyer , is it okay to, say, add a sentence or make a small edit at this step in the process? Or should I hold off until reviewers give feedback?

[kyleniemeyer]

@ronikobrosly yes, feel free to make edits right now, since we are still working to find an editor and reviewers.
