Hi, I do find this book enlighten me a lot and I would like to give it a try for a Chinese version. How could I contribute? Regular github steps?

Hello! Yes, you can just create fork and send pull request.

On every thing except the author still specify himself as a translator.

Hmm, it seems there's already a printed Chinese version.

by the way, may I know what's the purpose of this gitbook edition?

The purpose is make it more convenient option than reading here and gather free translations. For example, there was a free translation into Russian, but now it can be found only through https://web.archive.org

Thanks, I got the idea. One more question, for a language with a merchandised translation, what's the best way to gather a "free translation"? Since re-translate a book is not cost-effective, and it's inappropriate to copy the content of the book to this repo.

I think that copy the contents of this book will not be legally (unless indicated that the translation is distributed for free license).
