I just had a couple of meeting with a few different folks, ranging from "mindfulness science" to "innovation in open science" to "history of science and religion". All of them have a need for something very much like a carpentry workshop: a focused skills boost that can get students and/or researchers up and running.
I would love to have a workflow that mimics something like the GitHub / Bitbucket pull request workflow. BUT, I think wrapping your head around git + web services as a collaborative document production workflow is HARD (bordering on pathology). So, the question is whether anyone has found something that allows for a pull-request style multi-author workflow for prose, but that doesn't require the use of git. Ideally something that has actually worked for collaboration with at least some authors who have no understanding of git. I would love to see the methodologies developed for the Carpentries' curricula spreading out through different disciplines, spanning things like basic grammar for the humanities, transparent / reproducible / open scientific practices, etc. Many thanks!
