I think the Web IDE is a great selling point for GitLab, but not to *oversell*, while Gitlab has good support for previewing asciidoc when browsing repositories, you don't get either syntax highlighting or "live preview" for asciidoc in the IDE. These both seem like very feasible additions - not big additions. (Live preview is https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/85134, syntax highlighting during editing would require writing a grammar for https://microsoft.github.io/monaco-editor/monarch.html)

And of course, GitlLb is unaware of Antora, so various things won't render correctly. Some of these (embedded images) could probably be fixed with small additions to the Gitlab asciidoc support. Other (inter-component links) seem harder.

That all being said, the GitLab Web IDE seems to be the most feasible path to having a workflow where a newcomer could come in and make significant contributions to the Fedora docs, without needing install tools, learn the git command line, do local builds, etc. 

And that's important!

Owen
