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.
- No misinformation
- No NSFW content

If you're looking for something hosted, ProtonDocs is fine, however you'll need an account for each collaborator which could get expensive.
Lots of mentions of HedgeDoc, but it's only for Markdown.
Collabora sounds more in line with what you're looking for. Nextcloud Office might be a bit lacking.
Markdown is fine. I'll take a look at protondocs, pricing is not really an issue - but since this is public money I very much prefer to spend it on actual experiments.
Don't know about collabora, I had tried it a few years ago and found it very slow and finicky. Moreover maintaining the whole nextcloud setup would be something I'd gladly avoid.
