This site is made with Jekyll, an open source static site generator. This means the Jekyll program takes the content we want to be on the site and turns them into HTML files ready to be hosted somewhere. Awesomely, GitHub provides free web hosting for repositories, called GitHub Pages, and that's how this site is hosted. The content for the site is on a branch named gh-pages.
If you see an error or a place where content should be updated or improved, just fork this repository to your account, make the change you'd like and then submit a pull request. If you're not able to make the the change, file an issue.
