Are you talking the dd files? I am saying markdown that you
can just click in github and view. If it is the dd files then
that process, although not hard if more tedious for
collaborating than markdown that can easily be viewed in my
opinion. Plus that consists of the entire dlang site. a
separate repo would serve a specific purpose of holding
articles that people could view easily on github. Plus I
believe a PR for MD would be easy to view how the file would
look in the PR itself. Thats just my opinion.
A couple of points maybe are useful to you:
- We use the same approach for tour.dlang.org and since yesterday
every chapter is a small markdown file that is just a button
click away.
We already got people who want to contribute content that you
could consider as an article, e.g. [2].
- In future D's DIPs will be written in Markdown (WIP at [3]).
- There is also awesome-d [4], which is just a big link
collection, but also written in Markdown.
