I'll report that I've just read the current data model and use cases 
for VC, and I added:
4 Github issues for the data model
13 Github issues for the use cases.

I was brand new to Github so I'll report for others like myself that 
it was painless, even pleasant. :-) .  All it took was another new 
password.

About half my issues are minor grammatical issues, which I think 
should be done at some point but aren't urgent. Several though, I've 
taken issue with meaningful text, so I hope that people will look at 
them and comment (yay or nay or changes).

In terms of Pull Requests as Dan spoke of:
It certainly occurred to me that it would be simple if I could make 
the minor changes on a branch of the document myself, because I doubt 
if anyone's going to complain if I change "knwoing" to "knowing" (a 
real example).

But, I looked at Github's explanation of the Pull process, and backed 
off. Yep, that's for coders. There are about ten different 'but if A 
happens, do B' statements, on the directions page, some of which use 
words whose meanings I don't (yet) know.

What I'm hoping for is if someone can give directions for the simplest 
Pulls that you're looking for, just like the VC Minutes gave for the 
Issues, which were beautifully described. Something like:

To Do a Pull:
1. Go to X Github page.
2. Punch Button Y.
3. Edit the document, using standard cut and paste.
4. Punch Button Z.
