Hi Jim, Software Carpentry, an Australian initiative to teach researchers programming, is hosting and collaborating on their lessons on Github: https://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: https://github.com/qut-dmrc/encrypt_all_the_things https://qut-dmrc.github.io/encrypt_all_the_things/#/ 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://github.com/cryptoparty/handbook 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 Felix Victor Münch PhD Candidate @ QUT Digital Media Research Centre Social Media: https://about.me/flxvctr Google Scholar: https://scholar.google.com.au/citations?user=yn1Rz_EAAAAJ Academia.edu: https://qut.academia.edu/FlxVctr ResearchGate: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Felix_Muench ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8808-6790 QUT: http://staff.qut.edu.au/staff/muench/ QUT preprints: https://eprints.qut.edu.au/view/person/M=FCnch,_Felix_Victor.html

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
