I am rather fond of the way posgres does there docs/faqs, you have a
uneditable part for consumption and below there is an area for people
to comment on the entry:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/interactive/index.html

it gives the editors control over the official content and anybody who
wants to the ability to comment on it.  It also has the advantage of
being a working system that we might be able to get for the asking.

Thanks,

marc
