Something I have witnessed in the context of
maybe-making-our-book-into-an-open-source-project is that the first
thing people try to tackle is technology, and inevitably because
collaborative authoring is difficult, the land with something like
"let's use a markup language like asciidoc, markdown, or TeX and
underpin this with a version control like git, and everything is going
to be great."
Except that this often excludes everyone who can write and is *not* a
computer programmer. It think this is what Christoph hinted at when he
wrote:
