Now, I'll back away from that and put the directions into a public repository where interested people can post 'pull requests' rather than directly edit them.

You can see exactly what changed by clicking the "editted" text at the bottom of your posts, and compare all the edits.
An editor at one of my jobs got fired after she repeatedly editted one of my highly technical manuals to make it more "UX friendly" and less "technically accurate". I reverted all her edits every time she submitted it to me for my approval step. Then she made major edits without my approval and sent it to the print factory without my final approval. Millions of dollars of manuals had to be discarded after the paper manual was sent to me to double-check before sending to customer, and she was terminated on the spot. Gotta love it when non-techs edit critically accurate technical content, eh? Sad that it resulted in you terminating your work on this here and moving it where no "non-nerds" cannot damage it again. Very sorry to hear that...
I suggest reverting those edits. But beware, one of our active tech members almost got suspended for repairing damage to code formatting done in a post that had been editted by another member who has edit privileges, so beware of attracting such mistreatment in your direction.
Moving our content offsite (as suggested by other active members too) may be our only hope to protect our nerdly technically accurate content.
EDIT: Maybe he just fixed some spelling errors? I hope not more than that, for the sake of technical accuracy. Technical instructions are not at all like story books, and require a different set of editting skills, even for grammtical corrections,. That is a fact.
