Humanities (history and translations)
Flat file storage, under Git
Each text is stored in a single, self-contained, text file
Rich range of output formats (PDF, Epub, HTML)
Don't lock the users in: high decoupling (single text / archive / application)
A comprehensive test suite
Packaged for Debian: http://packages.amusewiki.org
Amusewiki can be used to produce slides as well
You are looking at them :-)

Instead of running the app from the git tree on a dedicated home, with
a local::lib
tree or with a perl installed in the home, now you can
visit http://packages.amusewiki.org/ and follow the instructions
there (import the key, add the repository, and install the package).
Minimum requirement: Debian Jessie and Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.

More burden on the developer
Trivial changes require a package rebuild
Needs to ship about 25 new packages (fonts and perl modules)
Can't use fresh code from the module used without being too invasive.
Debian people usually don't like private repositories
Installation is straightforward
Maintenance for the administrator is integrated in the regular apt-get
routine
Much smaller installation footprint (mostly because the texlive installation is optimized and shared)
Improved security
code is installed and owned by root, not by the user running the application
debian is taking care of the security updates of the
dependencies (not only the perl dependencies, but also the
libraries used by LaTeX
, cgit
and other utilities)
0 downtime upgrades out of the box
Predictability of locations and module versions (so gets more live testing)
Thanks!
