Wouldn't it be wonderful if there was a system where users and developers could both contribute content, quickly and easily, without having to learn GIT, in a format that closely resembles plaintext.
markdown is wonderful, especially the [pandoc] variant. There's also a wiki called [gitit] built on pandoc. The backend is git, but users don't know this. It lets you do extremely cool things like downloading wiki pages as PDFs, and viewing wiki pages as slideshows.
