Making pull requests on the COGA docs in GitHub

To do this, go to https://github.com/w3c/wcag/ and use the "fork" button 
to fork the repository. This creates a copy of it under your own github 
account.

Clone that forked repository to your local machine. Then switch to the 
"coga-gap-analysis-2014-fpwd" branch. This gets the right copy of the 
file set up. Then create a new branch, something like 
"katie-edits-sept-2014". The branch will start off as a copy of the one 
you were just on, but allow us to process your edits more easily after 
we get the pull request.

Make your edits, commit them, and push them up to Github.

Go to the Github web interface for your copy of the repository. This 
will be something like https://github.com/<your-user-name>/wcag. Switch 
to the branch you created before. Then use the "compare and pull 
request" button to make your pull request.

The following gives you more information about how this works: 
https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests

We'll need to review the edits before we accept the pull request. So 
give it time for it to appear in the doc. But once the pull request is 
created, a record will exist and you can track the status of it.

One other thing - if you have a bunch of different edits in different 
sections to make, it is best to make them as separate pull requests. 
That way, if for some reason we can't accept one of the pull requests, 
we can still accept the others. If a whole bunch of edits are in a 
single pull request, and even a single on of the edits has a problem, we 
have to reject the whole pull request.
