</span>Just thought I should mention that if you are using github (or<br>
gitlab), they allow git access to the wiki - that means the power git<br>
user can contribute to the wiki pages via git, and folks who hate git<br>
can use the UI - all they need is a github ID. Everyone wins :)<br>
Since the format used is (a modified) markdown, it should not be<br>
super hard to move away to another wiki format that also uses a<br>
similar format.<br>
