There's a variety of types of wiki software where comments are integrated into the body of the page itself, generally below the content of the page; Mediawiki is notable in separating the two functions (discussion & article) but I don't know if it was the *first* wiki software to do so. History pages for content (any kind of content) have been around for a long time though, as Brion notes.
