I'm suggesting dokuwiki + git. No strong opinion on the software as long as it meets the criteria above + i18n (though for some of the use cases you give, i18n might be less important.) <https://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/> uses ikiwiki, which I think is backed by Git and “not bad.” :-) The “wiki” could also just be Org or Markdown files automatically rendered upon push (e.g., by Emacs or Haunt). Anyhow, I agree that it would be nice to have a place to share documents about discussions, practices, things like the social contract, etc. Thanks, Ludo’.
