As a translation leader, you will maintain a fork of the book that represents
the authoritative status of the book in your language. Matt will then periodically
pull from your repository (or you can send him a pull request) when it is time to
update the master repository. You may then manage permissions to your repository
and give write permissions to anybody able to contribute in your language.

To set this up, do the following:

1. Fork the master repo (this is done via the github web interface).
2. Clone your fork of the repository to your local system:
  $ git clone [email protected]:yourname/merb-book.git
3. Make your changes to the book and commit them.

When you are ready to share your changes with the world:

4. Push back to your repository on github:
  $ git push
5. Let Matt know that you have made changes and that he should update the master
   repository.
