I've written an initial version of this, and I used git as the 
wiki suggests. I've put my content here: 
https://github.com/paulproteus/PyData-Workshop-Sprint/wiki/Laptop%20setup

I tried to do a push to the original repo, and I got this error message:

$ git push

ERROR: Permission to svaksha/PyData-Workshop-Sprint.wiki.git denied to 
paulproteus.
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

Given that, vid, would you grant me permission to edit the wiki on Github, 
via granting me permission to write to the repo?

Otherwise I can either:

* attach my suggested changes here on the mailing list, or

* edit on the website.

For now I'm editing on my fork here: 
https://github.com/paulproteus/PyData-Workshop-Sprint/wiki/Laptop%20setup

I'm happy to remove the fork, and merge back into mainline once I have 
push access; the fork is just a convenient way for people to see the 
contents while I'm writing, and while we figure out access. 
https://github.com/paulproteus/PyData-Workshop-Sprint/wiki does indicate 
to any possible other visitors that this isn't the real site.

I'll use whatever works, but would be happiest with push access so I can 
keep enjoying the git life. Just let me know and I'll do it whatever way 
works for everyone.

Thanks! And comments welcome on the actual text!
