The Colmena project uses GitLab's wiki feature as a documentation space for their general work team and collaborators (CoP coordinators and media partners). This includes onboarding information, literature, tool manuals, and documentation of conducted workshops for internal knowledge sharing. They moved this documentation from a Nextcloud instance to GitLab, which they found creates a deeper understanding between users, coordinators, and the development team about Colmena development processes and workflows.
