I&#x27;m really glad you brought up GitHub in this way.  I have been using GitHub for much more than versioned code storage.<p>For example, I&#x27;ve been using it as a collaborative writing zone with a friend of mine.  Our use is definitely nothing too remarkable, but as far as collaborative writing goes, it&#x27;s not easy to imagine a product with more technical capabilities than git.<p>The real hurdle is just non-technical people being intimidated by the terminal &#x2F; command prompt.  I&#x27;d like to think that stigma is on its way out, but wouldn&#x27;t we all?
