It's a tangent to this tangent, but depending on that audience it might=20 be worth at least a glance at <https://www.overleaf.com>, which is a=20 collaborative hosted LaTeX environment. Overleaf handles the=20 collaboration and change-tracking part, and means that collaborators=20 don't have to have LaTeX installed locally. They have to have some=20 awareness of LaTeX syntax; but if they're contributing text rather than=20 structure that may not be a huge problem. I've only used Overleaf very lightly myself, but I have colleagues in=20 highly collaborative environments who swear by it, using both the free=20 and paid-for plans (both personal and site-licence accounts, in the=20 latter case).
