Not a Wiki--there's no Edit button.

It would be great to actually make it a wiki (and have changes recorded in git).

From the Github readme:

> Crontributing

> Missing entry? Found a typo? Please don't hesitate to create an issue or submit a pull request.

> Edit on GitHub

> The content is located in src/articles. You can find the file and click the edit button (the pencil icon) in the top right corner to start editing.

Each page has a 'Edit on GitHub' button. You just need your changes to be approved, so I guess it's like a moderated wiki.

Yes a moderated wiki would be ideal. Isn't there readily available moderated wiki software (possibly even git-backed)? That seems more wiki (quick) than opening PRs.

The [Edit on Github] button didn't go anywhere for me and I don't see how to create a new 'card'/entry. There seems to be (IMO) too much friction for this to be well-maintained.

This is probably just a typo, but I love the unintentional pun. A wiki was called that because it allowed quick edits by its users. Crontributing to this site takes much more time...

Thank you all for your suggestions and for pointing out issues and typos. I've updated the README to make the contributing section clearer.
