Let's make it easy for potential contributors to know how to contribute
to this website by adding a footer and linking to the site repo.

Include '/fork' in the URL so it's even easier.

Closes #434

Yes I was thinking more of the website. This way if people get to the website by other means (ex. Google search, or from the link at git-scm.com/community), then they have a link back to the repo if they wish to tweak the content.

@jnareb, @mjaix and @sivaraam what do you think about such a footer?

Yeah, I believe such a footer would be fine. Though I do wonder if it's adding anything more useful than what we have in the initial paragraphs of each edition. It's likely to be helpful in non-Rev News edition pages e.g., Hacking Git", "General Microproject Information".

Given the current suggestion of footer text, I wonder if using a "Fork me" ribbon might also be a possible solution. We could also consider not showing it in Rev News edition pages as it's likely not useful there. Just a suggestion that came up to mind. 🙂
