FYI: Keeping your Github fork synchronized with the main branch

Marc and I were trying to figure out how to tell if someone else has 
made updates to a document you are working on in Github.  Marc figured 
out a way to do it using the command line interface [/me bows saying "I 
am not worthy"], and I asked Eric how to do it with the GUI interface.

It is just pulling from the main repository. Usually you have the github 
repository as a remote repository and then push and pull to this. When 
you are using a fork (ex: w3c/Mobile-A11y-TF-Note and 
jspellman/Mobile-A11y-TF-Note), you can use the github comparison 
interface here to pull changes from one fork to another:
https://github.com/w3c/Mobile-A11y-TF-Note/compare <- Example URL

It is the green button top left in every repository start page or just 
add /compare to the URL
