+1 on decommissioning the wiki in sake of a "git + static web"
model. The model behind https://docs.fedoraproject.org/ looks pretty
neat to me.

+1 on consolidating tools we are already using (e.g., jekyll). This
would allow us in the Artwork SIG to work one a single theme (e.g., the
same used for www) that can be applied to all documentation sites,
consistently. It doesn't have to be a huge all-in-one documentation
site (which may slow down the rendering process whenever new changes
enter the repo). Instead, we may consider individual sites for each
specific purpose we want to have documentation for (per SIG or SIG-
specific repo maybe).

About the attachments, they could be stored in the same repo where the
related documentation is stored in. Then, we could activate git LFS for
them.

Using GitLab to store documentation repos may be useful to reduce infra
maintenance and also take advantage of runners already in place.

About using Asciidoc, I don't know if we need to make use of all the
documentation features it provides (e.g., includes for reusing content,
etc.). It seems like there is a strong preference to use Markdown for
the simplicity it provides. However, if we want great documentation
features, then Asciidoc has my absolute vote. It has documentation
features that Markdown doesn't have or even expect to have.
