Does anyone have time to correct poorly written climate info?

Does anyone with a skill for plain writing want to assist an NGO [Eco Forestry Forum, PNG] in getting their AGW leaflets corrected?

I have been given 8 or so A4 leaflets for disseminating information to the general public re AGW. Unfortunately they are full of conceptual errors, mistakes and just poor writing. I don't want to print these in mass as they are, but have limited time to 'fix' them. Anyone want to assist on a voluntary basis?

Given local literacy levels they have to be aimed at grade 8 reading levels, About 300-350 words each.

Update:

Thanks meadows,

Great Idea, now I just need to learn how to actually do that......guess I'm not very literate in this technology. But it does sound clever so I will find out how to do that as I'm sure I'll use it more than once.

Meanwhile a couple of generous contributors here have offered their time. I can't thank them enough.

    Walaka -

    Why don't you set up a new Google account for this and use Google Docs or Google Wave with open editing and then ask a question with a link to the relevant page?

    I'm sure you would get a few silly edits, but most should be fine and you could pick the best ones. You'd get the job done in no time.
