Forking with the Edit Button

Github is really doing an excellent job of presenting the power of git via a web interface. So now they've condensed the process of fork, change, recommit (and possibly pull request?) to one Edit button. Imagine a new workflow for wikis, where github's patchset approval and merge process is used to allow other people to fix a page in a controlled manner, and you don't need git to do this--just a github account and a web browser.

I think this will be huge for things like READMEs, where I'll often spot lots of typos or examples that could be improved.

This is okay, but it would be even better if it popped up the file in a at least moderately useable programming text editor (like bespin or something).<p>Maybe the solution here in the mean time is to use this with the bespin bookmarklet(<a href="https://bespin.mozillalabs.com/bookmarklet/" rel="nofollow">https://bespin.mozillalabs.com/bookmarklet/</a>) or something.

This looks neat and all but I'm still waiting for Github Issues 2.0 API.
