Working in an industry where Manuals and Policy/Procedure documents dictate, I would also love this.

Eg. in the heavily regulated airline industry, Framemaker still persists as standard. Changes are typically made against a PDF as comments (handwritten or PDF annotations), attached to a paper "Manual Change Request" form and signed by manual owner and passed to a Tech Writer to replicate the change in Framemaker. Turnarounds in order of months are incurred, and where the regulator is involved, I have seen years.

A Git-style version control workflow would work well: - allowing collaboration - change documentation and approval is built in (even better if regulator can use it) - publishing smaller amendments while larger ones develop - reuse modules across manuals (eg. org charts)

However, uptake will occur when the learning curve is reduced...such as a well designed web UI
