GitHub has a decent online editor, making most small changes a breeze. As
long as maintainers can catch and fix markup/branching mistakes, I feel
like the contributor doesn't need to "deal" with any of Jekyll's or Git's
unfriendliness. GitHub has a "preview" tab that shows both a rendered
version of the markdown, and red/green highlights for your changes.

However I can see how it gets trickier for the initial development of
lessons, where changes have a bigger scale (and adding pages or links is
not that friendly).

But I am not sure what concretely can be improved in that area. I don't
feel like things like wikis are that much more friendly, yet again I am a
software developer who uses GIt 7 hours per day, so I am very interested in
hearing about specific pain-points (and GitHub might be

as well? GitLab's web IDE <https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/web_ide/>
is also really good).
