[OH-Dev] (no subject)

Hi Gaurav,

It sounds like Carol made that specific change already, but we can find
other useful changes for you to make.

In general, the procedure for making documentation changes includes using
Git, and these "missions" can help you learn how to use Git:
https://openhatch.org/missions/ - see http://openhatch.org/missions/git

While working on those missions, let us know if any step is confusing or
doesn't work - which may lead to ideas for contributing improvements to
those missions. :)
