+Example:

+You want to prepiare a change to the DPDK-web, so grab their repository.
+  $ git clone git://dpdk.org/tools/dpdk-web
+
+Modify the file content/download/_index.md
+ - update the tarball name
+ - check that the link to the documentation really has your tag listed
+   at the top left
+ - check that the downloadable tarball matches the md5 listed on the
+   git push output
+ - add that new md5 to the file
+and finally suggest that change to the web team at web@dpdk.org
