At GoCardless, our current support staff (including myself) are pretty technical. We regularly push code to the main project repo, and it's a great way to get the things we want done, done.<p>For our support documentation, we're using the Desk.com knowledge base. Although not ideal, it works pretty well for us and is at the very least easy to update.<p>We took steps like this with our blog (<a href="https://gocardless.com/blog" rel="nofollow">https://gocardless.com/blog</a>) which we've now built using Jekyll. This is awesome because:<p>a) Anyone can write articles if they can write Markdown<p>b) Full text previews in our GitHub pull requests...with images (perfect for reviewing!)<p>We want to transfer these great advantages to our help documents. Jekyll really is a great tool for any (relatively) static site, not just for blogs.
