May'2012: working with other people via GitHub on Extending Webpy Blog App With Cookbook Features

• someone else submits changes by doing a pull-request to their own fork - I get an email (assume I have no local changes that haven't been committed/pushed)
  • browse the changes visually by following the GitHub link in the email for "Or you can view, comment on it, or merge it online at"
  • if looks reasonable, load it to my machine so I can test a bit: use the git pull line in the email (which merges it into mine)
  • test
  • if happy, commit and push
