I second this topic. Something that would not only make an interesting 
reading for your markers but can also find it's way into mainstream 
publication, especially, both being pushed into irrelevance.

I would be much interested in proof reading/ editing in case you need it.

Will keep you posted on this topic if you confirm that it's indeed the thing 
you want to work on.
