Hello all, If the goal is to collaborate on the history in this space, then I would suggest using either a page in the group that could be edited by the members or perhaps a linked Google Doc.
I am all for Google Wave, but a group page or Google Doc would be more accessible to a larger group of people. Unless we want to rewrite the text, it might be a good idea to copy the Wikipedia text and edit from that text. Always good to have a starting point.
