JSPWiki does not do "whoever saves last wins" - the pages are locked
while they are being edited, and people are given a strong warning
prior to editing.
Is this sufficient? You can fine-tune the policy by editing the JSP
files.

Dear JSPWiki Community Member,
Here at the United States Institute of Peace we are working on a
tool to allow people to create online training simulations. It is
an open source tool, and I believe we will be incorporating the
JSPWiki into part of it.
Frequently in these simulations the players will need to be working
on a shared document. We could just tell them to save and refresh
often, and that 'who ever saves last wins' but it seems that given
the availability of wiki software that we can do better than that.
Players will log in to the web site where their simulation is
running, so I want to make this work for their authentication into
the wiki. (These are just training scenarios, so it is a low
security application.) Once they are in, and tab over to the page
where the shared document exists, I just want them to see a page
where they can edit, but acts kind of like a wiki: they will be
able to see previous versions, people won't be able to clobber each
other's works, it will have some sort of auto-refresh built into
it, etc.
If you have any ideas or suggestions on this, please let me know.
Thanks in Advance,
Skip
