[Air-L] Non-software uses of GitHub

[Victoria Wenzelmann]

Hi Jim, hi all,

Thank you very much for this exchange!

My contribution is this use of Github for research:
http://book.openingscience.org/[1] In the meantime, one of the editors
moved on to start http://www.blockchainforscience.com/ and that living
document is now on Google
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Uhjb4K69l0bSx7UXYUStV_rjuPC7VGo0ERa-7xEsr58/edit
- I find that change of platform quite interesting.

Best, Vicy

So far, we have found a few books being written, some musical transcriptions being error-checked, and some policy documents maintained online.
