Re: [edu-team] GitHub Tutorial

I think it would be a good time for an advocate to share the reasons that they like to use GitHub.  There are of course other options, but GitHub seems to be gaining momentum.

I do not think we should wait until everything is polished.  Letting people use GitHub and sharing their experiences will help the community make the right decisions.  As you know, I believe in incremental improvement.
