Hello,

I got an idea from Remington to use a free feature from the site Github.com to 
allow folks to practice writing ASciiDoc. Github.com has a feature called 
"Gist" that allows anyone to save a snippet of code in various languages, and 
when you choose AsciiDoc you are also able to see your ASciiDoc converted into 
HTML.

https://gist.github.com

sample:

sample preview:

One catch is that you need to have a free Github account to be able to edit and 
preview your "Gist" more than once. Luckily the process of signing up for a 
free Github account is very simple, and only requires a valid email address.

I went ahead and created a new Github account to share with DIG hackfest 
attendees so they can quickly start playing with AsciDoc without needing to 
sign up for an account first. I shared the login information with Remington 
already, ad I will be sharing the login info with those that show up to the DIG 
hackfest.

Thoughts?

Thanks for listening,
Yamil
