This would then permit the addition of a "time machine" that would put
together a catalog of the pages based on their versions as of that
Date.
I.e., the time machine would simply create an alternative set of wiki
pages as of a given date.
May be. With JCR you need to first fetch the version history, and
then perform a "checkout" for each version you want to manage. It
also supports things like forks, which may be a tad too complicated
for us. One option would be to have a separate "wiki:versions" tree,
where we would just move() the old pages. Or maybe, have the version
history available as a subnode of a particular page.
e.g. path /wiki:pages/RecentChanges/wiki:content would give the text
of a page,
/wiki:pages/RecentChanges/wiki:versions/23/wiki:content would give
the text of page at version 23.
(Of course, the regular user would not see the full JCR paths; just
shortcuts.)
