I primarily use arch linux, but I do all my arduino stuff (via codevisionAVR in C) on windows.
I can't ethically pay somebody as it's for college and If it's a skill worth learning, I'll learn it before I even consider farming it out.
A college student that knows Linux? Then, git is for you and it will be a long term investment.
For the project hope page using one of the online authoring tools (word express, site builders, etc) is probably the easiest, no need to learn HTML. Some version controls sites provide that as well. Github for example support markdown text format (easier than HTML) and wikis. The nice thing about the markdown files is that they are version controlled like any other file.
This is a file in github markdown format

People are familiar with it, have accounts and know how to fork your repository and submit bug reports. Its a long term investment.
