Note: I'm using github just as a file repository. I don't request or expect people to create an account, or send pull requests.

FWIW, we're editing the xml source with simple text editors (Linux gedit in my case), and then processing it with the xml2rfc tool. So far, we're bouncing the text among co-authors, changes are applied, and then git is essentially used as a simple e.g. ftp alternative -- that's it. And, since you've raised it: I personally agree that requiring the use of git/github does represent yet another barrier. > If the intent is to broaden participation by people from different > disciplines then I'd urge the use of more commonly used tools > wherever possible. I might as well upload the document via ftp/sftp, and subsequently provide an URL. git/gihub was simply easier. But in no way we require or even expect the reader to use git/github. (I do understand that other folks or wgs do... but that's not the case for this document).
