Body: <p>How do I contribute to the CiviCRM documentation?</p>
  
  <p>I'd like to contribute to the Set-up page of the CiviMail documentation. There are some things that tripped me and I'd like to share them with others now that I figured them out.</p>
  
  <p>Note: I tried clicking the link on the line "CiviCRM documentation is community driven. You can help improve documentation." (found at the bottom of the documentation pages), however it leads to a 404.</p>

  We're in a bit of a transition phase at the moment with the tools we use for writing documentation.
  
  The authoritative user and admin guide is here: <https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-user-guide>.
  
  1. fork the repository (you'll need a github account to do that)
  2. make the edit directly on your fork of the repository
  3. submit a pull request back to the original repository with a summary of your edit, why you made it, etc.
  
  If it is a small edit, then the above is all you need to do. If it is a larger edit (or if you just feel like it) then you probably want to submit a documentation ticket on jira to discuss what you are planning on doing <https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/secure/CreateIssue!default.jspa>
  
  If you think that you'll be making a few edits, then here's a bit more reading that you might find useful.
