Contributing / Errata

The book is written using R Markdown(it's a very similar syntax to the GitHub markdown but supports many more features including code execution, etc.) and converted to final form (for example PDF) using the bookdown app. This means that editing a chapter is as simple as editing the markdown for that chapter - there is even an edit button at the top of the page to do exactly that. I would love to follow the standard process of forking, making changes, opening PR, merging, and releasing a new version of the book. I invite people to open issues as well with suggestions.
