Sounds like your going to have to if you want it to take up less time.
For instance, I'm dead set against the wiki being used as a database
like this. It's not meant for collaborative writing and is the wrong
tool for the job. Even a google doc spreadsheet would be more structured
as you could export it.
I'm not sure about now, but when I last looked in to Google Docs (prior
to using a wiki) it had some limitations, file size if I remember
rightly, which meant we couldn't open a new document with the necessary
images in the document. Also using Google Docs would mean inviting
proof-readers to each document which is a bit of a pain, unless this
has changed...
Get together some scripts to generate svg xml based on your data, then
you a hop away from just re-editing it in place instead of copying and
pasting.
Your also on track to be able to feed it into html.
I have no idea about that stuff and, since we're volunteer based, if
people don't volunteer, I can't magic them (but I wish I could!) :/
Ultimately what you want is a way for all your writers and collaborators
to contribute and for there to be a very minimal set of editing tasks
that join everything together.
Absolutely, but there doesn't seem to be a good set of tools available
at the moment. Most CMS apps are either missing something or just do
what we do now (ie: wiki).
Last thing we want is one bloke doing all the work manually and getting
the right tools together is just as much about saving your future time
True, but I can only work with what I have I'm afraid... :/
