Big fan of Wikis here, thus I think another alternative could be

The Gemini specification could be published and edited there as
well, with unwanted edits easily reverted, as these should be
concluded upon via discussions first, probably.
Discussions to specific topics, e. g. response codes, could be
sections in the Discuss tab to the Specification article or even own
discussion pages in case the topic is covered by its own
(sub-)article.

According to [1], Wikiversity is intended for *learning resources*,specifically learning resources different from what Wikipedia andWikibooks offer.

I fear that if we were to try to use it as a platform to develop theGemini specification, rather than just learning materials around Gemini,Wikiversity editors would not accept this. If one were to create suchpages on Wikiversity, they would probably be quickly removed usingWikiversity's speedy deletion guideline [2]; the very first criterionlisted for speedy deletion is "No educational objectives".
