I've been thinking for some time now that it's time for someone writing a wiki with a Git backend for storage; and optional forking for updates, so each user can work with his own branch [if he wants], [either online or offline], before merging back changes to the canonical location. And if that wiki would support texinfo as markup [or something that offers lossless conversion from/to texinfo, or Gambit moving to a different markup] then it would all become much more workable. Since there are some web frameworks for Gambit out there already, why not start such a wiki implementation? That would really be wonderful, even just for working with "normal" wiki content, not especially documentation. I'd help with the Git interfacing.
cairographics.org already uses a Git backed wiki: ikiwiki. But well I'd love to see a Gambit-based wiki system.
