Hello everyone! We have 22 days until 1.0! Let's round that off to a nice 20.

As you all know, the Manual has always been a bit... wrong. It's the hardest piece of documentation to keep up-to-date, and while the language was changing so quickly... yeah.

We have this issue on the 1.0 milestone about double checking the Reference:

github.com/rust-lang/rust Audit reference manual before 1.0 brson Shortly before 1.0 we should give some attention to the manual and make sure it's not too inaccurate nor incomplete. Let's crowdsource... P-medium

We've decided that the standard for the reference at present is "Nothing should be incorrect, but it doesn't need to be complete." I've gone over the whole thing myself, and I think it has that standard today, but I'm just one person, and reading something that long, I'm bound to make some mistakes. So I'm asking for your help.

I've added a checklist to that issue. There are 150 (!) sections in the Reference. With 20 days to go, we need to audit seven and a half sections a day to get this done.

Many of these sections are small, so don't despair! If you're new to Rust, this is also a great way to get involved: pick a section, try out what it says, see if it's true.

If you decide to pitch in, please pick a section, and if it's good, mention so in the comments on that issue. If it's not, please send a PR, and also mention that you've sent it in the issue.

here's a quick link: http://doc.rust-lang.org/reference.html

Don't forget, you can edit it on github and send a PR without even forking! Click the little pencil button on https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/src/doc/reference.md

Thanks so much!
