Kinda sorta maybe.
Source control is, relatively speaking, complicated. The people who make editorial comments on text - especially in the publishing world - are often not technical folk, and asking them all to learn and understand a new tool is decidedly non-trivial.
They can all type however. I can see this being useful.
You will be amazed at the number of publishers who run their editing process of Word documents because their change control is the closest their is to a common denominator.
- koralatov 14y agoTrying to teach someone non-technical how to use Git, even at the simplest of levels, is very, very difficult. I tried once for a project a friend and I were working on, and eventually gave up -- the learning curve was just too high for something he probably wouldn't use ever again. This, however, would have been almost perfect: not too complicated, easy-to-teach, and portable.
