Imagine a world where you could access information as easily as you could breathe.
You can stop imagining: this is the world we live in.
With Google, almost everything can be a finger tap away. With the right keywords, you can access the right information.
The challenge now isn’t a lack of information—it’s how to access that information in a curated fashion.
In that sense, Github, the hub for open source software has become a good way to organize information. By modifying the README files typically used to document how software is used into a list or a resource itself, the open source movement is applying yet another twist to how it can leverage existing resources in new ways to solve old problems.
It is innovation in action. The best part of it is that you can contribute even if you’re non-technical by getting an account, and making pull requests that change the text: you update the text how you will, and then you can push the changes to moderators who will look over your proposed changes, or reject them.
Here’s a guide on how to go about doing that:
