Encycla is a different take on a wiki style encyclopedia. After signup, a user can edit pages through a WYSIWYG interface.
Encycla's technologies include Git and Markdown. These two appeal to software industry people. As users edit pages using WYSIWYG interface, the Encycla saves commits in Git using a markdown representation of the page. That includes history of the edits to pages.
