Hi all, not claiming myself the leadership here, just my idea to get further by, let's say, small steps: I have created a small page on the existing xcsoar wiki to have a simple overview on who is working on which page. Despite that I want to encourage everybody to start working on his favorite manual item and contribute to it, regardless of which editor you prefer. I simply offer to crunch pieces together into the tex file and do the revision control (git) work.
So please have a look at http://xcsoar.org/trac/wiki/Documentation/ManualUpdate or contact me. It certainly is a bigger deal to introducing a better collaborative system than we have at the moment. I definitely do not want to prevent anybody working on that, I just feel that it will be a longer term process, which could go hand in hand with doing the current manual update with what we have established right now.
