Why we put files on Gitlab

We typically use Part Libraries on the wiki, which allows us to use Galleries, Visual Version History, and version history righ in the wiki. This allows for easier organization and visual representation - manageable by basic wiki editors. Git requires more sophistication on the part of the user - so we recommend that only for power users in order to allow larger numbers to participate without going through extensive learning curves. OSE is testing the limits of large scale collaboration - so this requires that we keep the tools as simple as possible. We are still pursuing world-class results - via Public Engineering - but we want to use tools that are as easy to learn as possible.
