This is all great news, I would add

ReadTheDocs 
http://read-the-docs.readthedocs.org/en/latest/getting_started.html
and
GitBook https://www.gitbook.com/

as services to collaboratively publish in markdown.

Editors like Atom 
https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/silverlining/2015/05/18/atom-io-for-markdown-editing/ 
and SublimeText 
http://cheng.logdown.com/posts/2015/06/30/sublime-text-3-markdown have 
great markdown support.
