Hi Marietta, I now have master permissions on the linked project, and have added you as a developer there. Also assigned you to your first task :)
You don't need SSH to just work on the issues section. We will not use the repository for anything but the README file currently. Translations are far in the future, let's start with the task at hand. Try to keep the overhead small (short issue texts, concise descriptions). If you like, you can create an issue for 'We need to figure out how translations of the manual can be created and tracked' (proposed solution: just make a copy of the book on flossmanuals, then translate, organize translators via issue on gitlab, use issue tags to specify language.).
