I have written complex wiki pages in full, but I'm not capable of contributing in this new way.
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.
That's exactly what I feared :-(
What exactly is there to "fear"?
That you would propose a not what You See Is What You Get editor, and one that coders love as vim. Terrible idea. Now, if you would propose LyX, that would be acceptable. Sorry, I can not contribute documentation that way. ...
That the changes can be integrated in a coordinated way, and later one can find out who wrote what and maybe ask him what he meant? Don't fear, it's certainly not as adventurous as everyone just editing the result in a chaotic way, but has proven useful in many projects over tme.
Same as the Wiki, this is not new. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from oS Leap 15.2 x86_64 (Minas Tirith))
