Afaik, the github wiki is freely editable by anyone with a GH account.
Try to add a page to this Homepage:
https://github.com/svaksha/PyData-Workshop-Sprint/wiki
That should work, but let me know.

A small note on my experience, If you are trying to install the EPD
inside a virtualenv, its a small dance with the dependency, but unlike
me, most people are not picky about a segregated development
environment. So, unless someone asks, I wont complicate things and
scare them off :)
