It's not rocket science. Markdown is another way of describing content layout, but it is not harder than the myriad of wiki syntaxes. With github / gitlab, there are WYSIWIG markdown editors, so it is about the same skillset that's needed for a Wiki. The only real difference is, that you usually do not edit the live content but you edit your own private copy (you "fork" the project in your "home project") and then request that your changes are included back in the "official" document (you do a "pull request"). You can do all this from your web browser if you want to. But you can also use powerful tools like "vim", "ed", "NOTEPAD.EXE" to handle the texts. And much more important: many people could work on the same document without interfering more than absolutely necessary and later the track of contributions (who wrote what) can be tracked easily (which might be very helpful if there is some information that's disputed later and that dispute could be cleared by the original author easily). -- Stefan Seyfried "For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled." -- Richard Feynman
