<div dir="ltr">What I love about Github is we don't have to create one more account, and CommonMark is a much more modern version of the bottom-up design that MediaWiki does. I have tens of thousands of edits on Wikipedia, but I tend to write in the CommonMark style- things like links are much more sane.

<p class="gmail_msg">GitHub looks interesting, although it seems to be less feature
rich than MediaWiki. Also, it may advantageous to have an
interface more familiar to hams (e.g, wikipedia). Pro and cons
for both approaches.<br class="gmail_msg">

<p class="gmail_msg">I'd be willing to host and maintain a wiki for APRS.
At a minimum it would be an excellent vehicle for
getting a coherent specification document together.
It's probably the most approachable format available
for computer-challenged hams.<br class="gmail_msg">
