We should have a service that allows users to edit documents (in whatever syntax, agnostic) in a mercurial repo via a web user interface. The service should handle user management, commits and, possibly, branches. submitted 12 Apr '11, 10:07 pudo |
Have now experimented with github as per Mike's suggestion with Open Data Manual: https://github.com/okfn/opendatamanual/wiki/_pages Results:
Thus it is definitely usable for per page editing when you know where to go but not great as a place to drop in to. solved 17 May '11, 03:54 rgrp ♦♦ I'd add to this that you can just edit (and preview) quite effectively directly in github itself (especically good since ace editor was integrated).

Marking this as accepted (in essence a wontfix since reasonably good existing solution).

How about using GitHub's Git-backed wikis? https://github.com/blog/699-making-github-more-open-git-backed-wikis solved 13 Apr '11, 05:23 Mike Chelen Thanks for pointing this out Mike. Both github (for git) and bitbucket (for mercurial) offer this feature. The main problem is being limited to the particular syntax that they currently support -- for example for Open Data Manual we're using restructured text. However, it seems github (at least) supports a fair number of formats and using an existing solution is always preferable to rolling one's own.
