So why not just use one of the open source Wiki environments? They
support all this stuff? If they aren't good enough as is, modify one of
them and make it an optional extra. Mozilla composer? Again improving
that would be less draining on resources that inventing something new.

Personally I can't really understand why most of the OOo website isn't a
wiki. Ok have the bits that need to shut people out as secure as Fort
Knox, but Wikipedia shows that if you make it easy to contribute you get
a lot of contributions.
