From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
Rules
- Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.

HedgeDoc also seems like an option that could do some of this. Self-hostable and open source (last I checked).
I tried the hedgedoc demo.
As far as I can see it supports latex and has some change revision mechanism. Unfortunately no bib file support, but I guess that's ok.
However, I can not find a way to add comments to the rendered text. Is that possible on the self hosted version?
That would be a deal breaker, most of what I need is actually reading documents written by other people and ask for clarifications or improvements.
