I assumed it meant more along the lines of like the 
per-paragraph/section comments of, for instance, the Django Book. 
In-line comments at the point where a change should be made.  Possibly 
allowing for saving/shelving actual diffs from anonymous/pseudonymous 
users so that they can be directly applied...

I don't think editing is necessarily a huge portion of it, but the idea 
of a dynamic, "living" community documentation site, I think, was the 
goal.  It might be worth examining the many different ways projects host 
their documentation (static pages, wikis, forums, FAQ tools) and 
question what and how things apply to Sphinx.
