Hi Dav,
I've been trying for years to find a wiki that supports what you want -
my belief is that we just (for some value of "just") need:
- every branch comes off master and is merged back to master
- every branch allows multiple updates, and allows people to view/review
the diff between its current state and master
- every branch can contain changes to multiple files, but is atomic for
commit
This gives us what pull requests give us that commenting on Google Docs
or writing in an etherpad doesn't, without the baggage of Git. If you
know of something like this, I'd be grateful for a pointer.
Cheers,
Greg

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!
Dav
