Why reinvent version control inside of WordPress? I'd rather version my content in git and build a static site from that.
I think there's a real opportunity for github, or a github app, to revolutionize publishing by building on the existing content collaboration capabilities of git. I'm not the first to have this idea [1]; there are already people executing on it [2].
Because WordPress is a really mature platform for publishing that is vastly simpler than just about anything else out there, especially considering the power it wields. This is a really great enhancement to the platform and I'm excited to use it. Before, it was pretty difficult to collaborate on posts, especially after the initial publish date.
