For those who are not familiar with such, the following is a text file:

http://svn.whatwg.org/webapps/source

Feel free to download it (File->SaveAs) and make a copy.  Edit the copy. 
  Use notepad if you like -- it doesn't matter.  All that is required is 
basic knowledge of HTML, which should not be a problem for this group. 
If you name your copy with an extension of ".html", you can view the 
document with your changes applied.  It won't have all the pretty 
styling or table of contents, but it will be functional.

If you make the original that you based your changes off of and the copy 
available to someone who is familiar with version management tools, they 
can make a diff and apply the change and checkin the result.  Manu has 
indicated that he is willing to be one such person.  I'm hopeful that 
others will emerge.
