I think it would be a good proving ground for historical _revs, if
and when
they arrive.
It would probably flush out a lot of issues around access control:
e.g. you
might want to be able to allow wiki updates by replicating *to* the
central
wiki site, but not allow total unfettered access from the Internet
which
could delete previous revs or the entire wiki.
It might also highlight issues to do with conflicts. That is, I
think it
would be better always to show a page which has multiple conflicting
versions as a list, and let the user view them all, rather than just
picking
an arbitrary winner, resulting in some people saying "where did my
edits
go?"
Right, that's the design I've chosen for my wiki, but I haven't gotten
to implement it yet :) Gotta get that book finished ;)
Cheers
Jan
