For the section about "Community building. Getting more contributions to
docs from more people." maybe we could use some collaboration tools like
Google Docs to collaboratively write documents in real time then paste them
into the files when they are done. Could also be used for teaching and
sharing information in regards to documentation.
Just my two cents,
Steven Richards

--------------------------------
As for collaborative editing, I saw an interesting presentation at the
Flourish conference about the Cloud9 IDE ( http://cloud9ide.com ) . The
Mozilla Bespin project was merged into this project.

It's open source (GPLv3), but for right now it only integrates with github
and only has basic XML syntax highlighting. Understandably, XML
code-completion is probably not high on their list of priorities.

Still, the idea of being able to collaboratively edit code in the cloud
could be useful when working on something as a group, and can be something
to consider in the future.
