Hi Jim, hi all, Thank you very much for this exchange! My contribution is this use of Github for research: http://book.openingscience.org/[1] In the meantime, one of the editors moved on to start http://www.blockchainforscience.com/ and that living document is now on Google https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Uhjb4K69l0bSx7UXYUStV_rjuPC7VGo0ERa-7xEs... - I find that change of platform quite interesting. Best, Vicy [1] "The Evolving Guide on How the Web is Changing Research, Collaboration and Scholarly Publishing. Edited by Sönke Bartling & Sascha Friesike. This is the dynamic version of the book.

I’m looking for GitHub repositories that are used for things other than software, especially where users are actively collaborating rather than just putting together static collections. 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.
Jim
