1. About this survey

Nic and Shawn have made some copy edits and minor revisions to several EOWG Resources. The resources in this survey are ready for EOWG review and approval to publish.

There are 4 resources. Most have only copy edits or a couple minor changes.
Please review the few changes listed in the survey questions. That will take most people less than 30 minutes.
You do not need to review all the copy edits if you don't want to.

Please note that we are eager to call these versions publishable, and we welcome comments for later revisions.
