IMO the main problem you face is the heavy start up cost for contributing. Using git and CI is not substantially less cumbersome for contributors than the current solution. While it may attract a few more people like the current contributors, it won't attract new classes of contributors. You need to make it easy for people to contribute content, and in this day and age that means a web interface; just one that doesn't suck. What you need is a well curated web-based work flow. Most wikis can handle multi-page content, that's your long articles, and a small article is just single page. Most wikis have a publishing process so you can vet/QA stuff before publishing. Most wikis have a translation work flow. Most wikis allow you to import/cut-n-paste content in several flavors of markup. So if some people want to write markdown et.al. offline then paste it in the web-ui that's supported. Most wikis are easy to theme and extend. Most wikis have an active community that can help you develop any missing features. IMO what you need is a docs wiki that you can configure with your publishing process as you see fit. I don't have a vote for a specific wiki as I haven't done a comparison of publishing work flows in a long time. Did I mention, all IMO., no offense intended! :) Cheers, Jeff. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.14 (GNU/Linux) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJVLbFIAAoJELs3R4zxGZvK1KcH/0MuqwXG3ZsUckUFm9QZrtzx UEQKpcrdVFF/E2O3bAK4f6BtO0gXJTWQRsIAxnyfJ4vePCfpzgjFUIx0dgB4Ijn/ jf8/QpJsMvt08XjboIZU1eHQ2sT6tEUHJKsip48qufLPc0WmeqaToF8m1kZDa0Ba 042y3Yv2PWm0EdkxekxLP3bVl6395pGOnKXUUkfjHOMydN5ICEcq/al++If4Vqhd hDiTayV41yTYZ5LPExTymppzqCclWE2iRqYVd1ATvMFEMlQuyHA+9xfZGfpmCbSo OiaUzZ2dqtPL/WrjYGZuZBRV0AZsRxje4TqHnLDKaS4Oos2RV03uFV0OAHxYCQQ= =Dr0H -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- docs mailing list docs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/docs
