My feeling is that the content is well-covered in general, this is a good first draft (modulus I've not read in detail the rest of the guide). We will probably need a few passes to get the style right though. In general we prefer a style that is less conversational. Just simple and declarative sentences, and no smileys. Would you please do an overall revision following these guidelines? There were some minor details I edited in the source of the guide to speed up the review process. Please pull them! I don't think it is on-topic to enter a debate about where to put observers. To keep the focus on mailers, could you just pick the conventional location (app/models) and simplify that part? <div><p>Hi Ahmed El-Daly, I've reviewed up to section 2.2.</p> <p>My feeling is that the content is well-covered in general, this is a good first draft (modulus I've not read in detail the rest of the guide).
