Please Spellcheck your web pages - "Icehcunk"

Problem

Bad spelling and grammar impedes peoples' (and ML's) attempt to understand your text

Suggested Improvement

Put a decent spellchecker (of whatever language you prefer) in your publication workflows!

Thanks for the feedback Chris. I'm sure you can appreciate the tradeoffs involved in trying to do deep technology innovation, maintain open-source libraries, develop our platform, document everything, support our customers, etc. while trying to move quickly. (I'd also note that English is not the first language for all Icechunk developers.) Clearly we have some work to do on the documentation front, and I thank you for highlighting some general shortcomings.

However, for me, this issue falls a bit short of constructive. Is there a particular page or section which you feel needs attention?

Here are some examples of helpful past contributions around Icechunk documentation addressing typos and spelling errors:

• Some minor grammar and spelling tweaks for the readme #936
• [Nit] Docstring spelling fix #848

We would welcome contributions from you or anyone else, for example, to add a spell checker to the CI.

@rabernat I appreciate the pressure to achieve in this fast moving world, but I was concerned that on my first visit to the website, on the first page (Overview), I saw the misspelling 'Icehcunk'. This did not give a good impression and could undermine perception of the software.
It is now fixed.

You're absolutely right, there is no excuse for such a glaring typo on such an important page! 🤦
