I thought this was going to be a GitHub implementation of GitBook. Excitement fell when I clicked through. However, anything that makes getting into open source

  ditto. I was thinking it would be along the lines of Digital Ocean's curated how-to's/guides.

    Ahhh that's interesting, especially because to a certain extent, people are already writing content on github organically (like this https://github.com/thewhitetulip/build-app-with-python-antitextbook https://github.com/thewhitetulip/build-app-with-python-antit...) but I always assume these are also hosted elsewhere, even if it is a github pages domain. What additional features or functionality would you want github to add to make writing/hosting guides better? Also, DigitalOcean has "contributing to open source" stuff like this https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/contributing-to-open-source-getting-started-with-git https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/contributin... and this https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/maintaining-open-source-software-projects https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/maintaining...

      the reason the ones on digital ocean are good is because 1) reasonably consistent format, at least visually anyway. 2) curated. they actually review submissions. 3) if your guide gets accepted, you get some DO credit or something. so, there's an incentive for quality material.
