Documentation is nice but it must be a lot easier than: Fork repo, clone 
to your system, edit, add, commit, push, pull request. Those are just 
too many steps.

I recently found that you can edit a foreign file directly in github.
For example open this url: 
https://github.com/apache/karaf/blob/master/manual/src/main/asciidoc/users-guide/jdbc.adoc
Then use the edit button. It will implicitly create a fork and a branch 
on your account. When you then save it offers to directly commit and 
create a pull request. That is almost as convenient as confluence.

We could just add an edit link from each page on the web to the 
respective file at github.

Of course we would also need some documentation to tell people how the 
workflow is and for example that they must publish their edits with 
apache license or similar. The main thing though is to make the edit 
flow as easy as possible.
