[Savannah-hackers] Language Errors in Savannah Page for Lilypond (Re-pos

Apologies for posting this note to the wrong location; I assume this is the right one for reporting web-page errors, and so am trying again:

I recently visited https://savannah.gnu.org/cvs/?group=lilypond. There are errors involving incorrect English; and while they don't make the page unreadable, I think they deserve to be corrected:

1. In the section "Getting a Copy of the CVS Repository", subsection "CVS Newbies", the sentence

        The basic _informations_ described further on this page _are_
        _detailled_ in the savannah user doc.

should be

        The basic _information_ described further on this page _is_
        _detailed_ in the savannah user doc.

("Information" is a collective noun and is never written in plural form; this is a very common error by writers whose native language is not English.)

2. In the subsection "Symbolic Links in HTML CVS"

        Each line of the file _list_ a real file name

should read

        Each line of the file _lists_ a real file name...

Thank you,

Jonathan Levi, M.D.
