At the bottom of the git-scm.com page there is this blurb: This open sourced site is hosted on GitHub. Patches, suggestions and comments are welcome And that text contains a link to the GitHub repository[1] where anyone can propose modifications to the page. Unfortunately I don't know of anyone paying out contribution stipends for content changes made to git-scm.com. [1] https://github.com/git/git-scm.com/blob/master/README.md#contributing -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
