Welcome to the awesomeTome GitHub Repo, where we make the Tome Reference Document.
The TRD is a compilation and merger of Tome mechanics and changes into SRD material to create a complete document that does not require external lookups. With the exception of the Skills subsystem (where we are expanding the exploit system to cover a bunch of background things and may change rank progressions), we are not making any large changes to content. We expect to errata a number of classes and feats and spells, however.
First thing you need to do is make an account at GitHub, or log in if you already have one. You can't really contribute without one.
Then you'll want to get up to speed with current discussions and to-do lists. These are handled in the Issues section of the project, and can be found on the issues tab.
Once you've gotten up to speed with the scope and desired outcome of the project, you'll want to get copy of the code, so you can work on it locally and sync your changes when they're complete. The to-do issues should help you determine what parts need work. Once you've found something, make your changes locally and then submit it back to the project when it's ready. If you're not sure how to do any of that or how to work with LaTeX, check out our help links in the next section.
New to Git? GitHub for Windows is desktop software with a decent GUI that may make contributing easier for you (it may be available in other flavors if you have a different OS). There's a decent tutorial for it here, and another one here in pdf / forum format if you need further assistance.
Want to do Git from a command line isntead? Check out some reasonably clear videos to help wrap your head around this thing: link. Prefer a written walkthrough to get started with Git? Got you covered there too: link.
You probably don't need to know that much LaTeX actually. We're trying to make it easy on you, and have preloads for a lot of pages that are simple conversions (like classes or spells). A quick primer on how to use these preloads, a list of them, and our tone guidelines can be found in our Contribution Guidelines.
But if you wanted to understand more of what that LaTeX stuff you're looking at is, here's the basics: link. If you want to learn more, that site is pretty thorough and and here's their ToC if you wanted to learn more: ToC.
