I have a pending pull request
<https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/d-programming-language.org/pull/98>
which adds an "Improve this page" button to the upper right
corner all pages on the website. From the pull request
description: "It essentially turns the website into a moderated
wiki. How it works is for each page it links to a special URL on
GitHub that will offer to fork the repository, open an online
text editor, and create a pull request in one easy process."
It's meant for simple changes (typos, rewording stuff, minor bugs
in code examples, etc.). I got the idea after using the GitHub
online editor myself to make website and Phobos documentation
change pull requests and finding it to be very easy way to
contribute. Even people who are unfamiliar with git can use it.
Andrei seemed to like it when I showed him but asked me to get
Walter and whoever else's opinions on it before he'd be willing
to merged it.
You can try a live demo here: http://gnuk.net/d/index.html
Clicking the button will open the appropriate file in an editor
on GitHub. Feel free to click the button to see what the editor
is like. Nothing happens until you choose to submit your changes
at which point it lets you enter a pull request description, then
it finally makes the request.
This would probably have been difficult to implement if it
weren't for Ddoc so +1 for Ddoc.
