I'm comfortable working with git. But i wonder how many other<br>
chuckists are used to scm systems. I underestimated the difficulty<br>
with which new users can get to grips with a scm system; A few months<br>
back i tried to encourage the max/msp using monome community to adopt<br>
git (and github) to avoid the fragmentation i was seeing with many<br>
different versions of monome apps. I posted a tutorial on how to use<br>
git for max, evangelised about the benefits, but for whatever reason<br>
it didn't work out. I think this was because for most people the tech<br>
barrier with git (or any scm) was too high.<br></blockquote><div><br>Ok. So we need some info on why this is a good idea here and how to use it for this purpose. It'd be especially good if it were fun and easy as well.<br>
<br>If need be we may need to add a wiki page, or simple list posts to this. I suspect there are quie a few lurkers here, people who have questions they feel might be silly, and that's exactly the kind of person who could make a very important contribution here so I feel we should try to make that sort of thing as easy as possible.<br>
<br>There is more to manuals that the letter of the text anyway so we may need more layers than just a method to add text; questions might be at least as valuable in this case. In my earlier post I took a subject I'd like to write on just because I had questions on that before myself... but maybe this isn't a topic that a lot of people are fighting with. Maybe MIDI-out is much more important to a more people; I have some gut-feelings but I don't know for sure.<br>

I think chuck users are more likely to be used to a scm system<br>
already, but if i were choosing how to publish editable ChucK<br>
documentation, i think i'd still choose for a web based editing system<br>
like FLOSS manuals, because it'd be a shame to have technology get in<br>
the way of people feeling as though they can contribute.<br></blockquote><div><br>I could see how that would help, yes. Is this practical on Adam's end at all? What systems are there and can we get those installed somewhere?<br>
