    Actually, I think this was correct as it was. It's talking about module projects, distribution projects, and theme projects. So I think they should all be singular?

    This change is OK to make.

    Or maybe we should say "in" the marketplace?

Thoughts?

Thanks for the feedback, Jennifer!

1. Here are my thoughts. I feel that since the word "some" is used, it indicates more than one entity. I suggest using "contributed module" and "distribution" in plural forms just like "theme projects" was in the original statement. For example, "some (but not all) pens" or "some (but not all) topics".

2. "In" is fine too. I did explore "at" and "in" as options before "the marketplace". I finally went with "at" because I felt it read and sounded better.

Kindly advise.

Hm. On (1)... Analogy:

Some ball point, felt, and roller ball pens...

Not:

Some ball points, felts, and roller balls pens...

The point here is that the intent is to say: "some (but not all) contributed module projects, some (but not all) contributed distribution projects, and some (but not all) contributed theme projects..." (but using less repetition). [I know this is the intent, because I wrote this topic. ;) ]

So, I don't think it's correct to say "some (but not all) contributed modules, distributions, and theme projects".

I think it needs to say "some (but not all) contributed module, distribution, and theme projects".

Right?

On (2), I prefer "in" not "at" but I don't feel strongly about it.

1. Oops, sorry!!! I completely missed the connection! Please ignore comment #9. The sentence looks good. :)

2. Great! I will submit a patch with "in".
