> 3. GUI/WebUI CMS for contributing to a shared versioned repository.

Did you have some specific tool in mind? Because I completely agree that this is a great way of working with content. We have been doing that for a couple of months with our own tool. It uses Git and stores content in a pretty-printed JSON file. Techies can update that directly and push it manually. Content editors can use our tool to edit and commit to Git with a simple Web UI. Would that go into a direction you were thinking of?

The closest i can think of is NetlifyCMS, but it's terrible because it's a bunch of JavaScript both server side and client side, and is really not intended to be selfhosted despite being open-source.

If NetlifyCMS was a robust library for abstracting over versioning system and static site generator to build WebUI/TUI/GUI clients with, that would fit what i have in mind. I don't know of any such program yet, please let me know if you find something :)

OK, I see. The tool we are working on is similar but also not quite what you are looking for. In case you want to have a look, it is availale on <my-name> .io
