Somebody should take document type conversion from Pandoc and version control from Git

And build a frontend around it

First time hearing about pandoc are you saying like a more competent version of o365 or confluence?

No Pandoc isn’t an editor by any means. It’s an document conversion tool. Think converting a Markdown file into an docx or html or epub or pptx or pdf (via LaTeX or ConText). That’s what pandoc does.

If I'm understanding your question right, kind of. Pandoc is only for document conversion though, no spreadsheets, presentations, etc. But at that it can convert between a lot of formats. And git can be used to version and share those documents.
