second read on a monday morning:
"Interact with teams that have common values, leadin to the cross-pollination
of ideas and innovations”
to
“Interaction with ...”
since you changed “Stand on” to “To stand on”, the language is now active
rather than passive so let’s keep that consistent
"All KDE contributor accounts get direct (and universal) write access to the
software assets”
to
“All KDE contributor accounts are granted direct, universal write access to
the software assets"
rational: removes the specialness of “universal” by putting it in brackets
(which usually means it is an afterthought or further explanation, while in
this case it is an attribute of the granting)
also “grant” sounds less informal than “get”, but perhaps that’s just personal
taste
