I fix documentation typos or broken links because they really annoy me. There are some egregious examples of people doing it for GitHub-as-a-social-network reasons, but I think some are like me and just want to fix the writing.

I always start with a small patch to test the waters of a project. That way i dont waste my time with a larger patch if the project is a PITA to contribute to.

I similarly contribute only minor language and writing corrections to Wikipedia, and usually anonymously (unless my phone has randomly pulled a blocked IP and I need to sign in). I don’t consider myself enough of an expert in any Wiki-worthy topic to do anything more, but I’ll make damn sure small mistakes get addressed.

I feel even less qualified to contribute corrections on GitHub mostly for the same reasons mentioned above. Staying anonymous prevents anyone from thinking I’m attempting to capitalize on low hanging fruit.
