Would bugzilla be a better choice here?
I've been watching the wiki discussion with some concerns, and haven't
yet been satisfied. One of them is security, another is the integrity
of the original document. Using bugzilla addresses both of those
issues because it does not allow the bug filer access to the source.
Also, the wiki seems to require almost instantaneous response from a
document's maintainer to a change. Bugzilla allows a more leisurely
response because the change is not added to the original document in a
manner that makes it appear to be part of the original document.
I don't see any evidence that a wiki allows the maintainer to deal
with each bug/change discretely. That is, suppose three different
people make changes to a wiki document. Tom edits something in. Dick
sees the changes, and makes a change. Harry then comes along and makes
other changes to Tom's edits. I would want to deal with Tom's original
changes first, then the other two. Bugzilla would preserve Tom's
original changes.
Also, bugzilla would preserve the bug filers' comments about the
change, as well as the change itself.
