Or scrap it altogether. At the bottom of the git-scm.com page there is this blurb: This open sourced site is hosted on GitHub. Patches, suggestions and comments are welcome And that text contains a link to the GitHub repository[1] where anyone can propose modifications to the page. Unfortunately I don't know of anyone paying out contribution stipends for content changes made to git-scm.com.
