Both GitHub and GitLab have built in wiki systems that support Markdown. They also support editing them in a proper editor and using git for revision control.
That said, these solutions are probably geared more towards developers, whereas in a conventional organization, many people (i.e. business folk) usually prefer a browser based solution that provides a similar experience to that of a word processor.
I never liked Confluence, but seeing as the Atlassian suite has become the de-facto industry standard, it's hard to beat its integration advantages with JIRA and such. Better a sucky single source of truth than a disparate array of wonderful solutions.
Also I think the latest versions with the UI lift are pretty good (and they support Markdown finally).
- dsumenkovic 8y agoThank you for writing about GitLab. You can read more about creating the new wiki page here https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/wiki/ https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/wiki/
- cryptos 8y agoThe wikis of GitHub and GitLab are nice for developers, but I doubt that non-technical users will be happy with them. Inserting a link to a recently created page is really simple in Confluence, but there is no assistence in these wikis. Inserting a table is not simple, comments, alerts and so on are not on par with Confluence.
