It allows more people to be able to easily submit documentation changes. The documentation is in the repo under Documentation/ as Markdown files. Markdown is much simpler than the markup language used by MediaWiki. Plus you can make easy frontends for editing files in a git repository. E.g. GitHub does it. I wouldn't recommend use of GitHub since it's proprietary, but that's just an example. Where a user doesn't even need to understand git, they just log in and click "edit", edit whatever they like in a web interface and then that goes to a pull request for code review. I'm not sure if coreboot does that. We tried in Libreboot but it's currently not possible due to a limitation in Gogs, the software that we use for Git-based code review. So it's possible to have something wiki-like while being hosted in Git. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAEBCAAdFiEE+JRrnG26iGmvPhSA/0W3TPnRz5QFAlsiUukACgkQ/0W3TPnR z5S6Zwf/fByVDDUvgQHjro6vJcrpzWSvRmyryhPf/y/Evn96rP4lCBaB9cRUVsRd +/1lggRNujj/SEaJrlTzbh+qlwXpObaGBaKDDsDOjuAREn3oXSkZ6hYzkRXbDMS/ OakFjkMjDiltZlX2e6eou7Yn2L1+J66pH5kNtXxFbINlE6LdJppRopRfgOtSVie5 3ManiKcHdMRRts2ZE/gUN5RU49jGs/pEAOFHUjb8dt/zyN6SsxGWnLS5fdOJ5s79 Xhv/C5MDXSlZrmv8rGvV8qw90QVDmx9wkaw4r+w9FCPIRBB7J5cxbEUSJ6T8eWIy 38oCoaIURTOEgG6Q6QwiXbHrPAaHfw== =CByM -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- coreboot mailing list: [email protected] https://mail.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
