Yep. There are huge advantages to a GitHub model over Wikipedia for collecting information.

Shameless plug, but highly relevant: I'm trying to make 'git as a platform' more accessible for non-programmers with a project I'm working on - http://www.penflip.com. Wrote about it in detail here: http://madebyloren.com/github-for-writers

Glad to discuss it further if anybody's interested.

Have you seen Draft [0]? It seems fairly close to your concept of "github for writers".

Indeed I have. Nate's got something great going with Draft, but I don't know if I don't think he's shooting for a github-esque platform.

Just looked at this, sounds like a great idea! I would use it to create a textbook for the high-school programming course I teach.
