[Learnosm-coord] Looking for a GitHubber -- I Want to become a GitHubber :)

[Jeff Haack]

Hi Blake (and others interested in translating),

The issue with "Githubbers" right now seems to be that there is no person
or group of people actively managing learnOSM.  I try my best to keep up
with pull requests the best I can, but down the road we'll need some other
members to keep an eye on this and work with translators.

This page -
https://github.com/AmericanRedCross/Guides/blob/master/TranslationWorkflow_LearnOSM/translatorWorkflow.md
- gives a pretty good description of how to do translations.  Basically
what the "Githubber" will do in order for you to translate is to copy the
English chapter files into a new folder for whatever language it is that is
being translated.  Then you, as the translator, can go into prose.io and
translate the text, leaving the images and links in place.

I can set this up for anybody who is ready to translate - the two things I
need to know are:
1) what pages do you want to translate (and what language)
2) your github username

Then I will ensure that the pages you want to translate exist and are in
the right place, add you as a collaborator, and point you to prose.io where
you can get translating.

Contact me off list and we can get this set up!

Cheers,
Jeff
