Among other things, we're looking at a git-backed system for the future of Fedora Docs. As part of this, easy web-based editing is crucial, and it'd be nice to have that backed by Pagure. And it'd be useful for other drive-by contributions as well.

User stories:

I. I'm a Fedora user reading documentation on something I'm trying to do. I notice a section that could be more clear, and I want to propose new wording. I have an easy, obvious way where I can submit that change without needing to know the details of the backend.

II. I'm a Fedora Docs contributor reviewing a HOWTO on my cell phone. I notice a typo and want to correct it without access to my normal git environment and tools.

III. I'm a new Fedora Docs contributor and while I love Linux and love to write, I'm not entirely comfortable with the command-line or with coding tools like git. I want to contribute to documentation entirely from my web browser without all those other complications.

IV. I'm a Fedora contributor, and I notice a small bug in a script used in release engineering. I don't have commit rights, or an interest in joining rel-eng or understanding the whole thing — or even checking it out. I just want to propose this little fix.

V. I use the Fedora Foobar Desktop spin, and I want to suggest that joe be added so everyone has access to The Best Text Editor by default. I don't have commit access to the spin kickstarts, and don't really understand how one might even get that, but I want to make it easy for the maintainers to pull in this change once they inevitably agree.
