Hi Jim et al., A consortium led by Consumer Reports is using GitHub to develop a "Digital Standard" to help guide the future design of consumer software, digital platforms and services, and Internet-connected products (I was part of in the initial development of the Standard, though I'm not involved at this time). More info at https://www.thedigitalstandard.org/. Cheers, Nathalie On 11/22/17 10:36 PM, Felix Victor Münch wrote:
Hi Jim,
Software Carpentry, an Australian initiative to teach researchers programming, is hosting and collaborating on their lessons on Github: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__github.com_swcarpentry&...
Also, Brenda Moon and me work on a DMRC workshop regarding data security and privacy for researchers using Github, and the slides are hosted there as well:

To create presentations with frameworks such as reveal.js, collaborating on them, and also have them hosted there is a pretty common non-software use of Github I'd say.
There is also, for example, the cryptoparty handbook on Github: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__github.com_cryptoparty_...
And, last but not least, I'm writing my thesis with pandoc, version controlling it on Github, in a private repo so far though ;)
Cheers,
Felix

So far, we have found a few books being written, some musical transcriptions being error-checked, and some policy documents maintained online.
Does anyone know of any examples of these or other categories? Any pointers much appreciated. Happy to share what we find with anyone interested.
