If you watched the Wave presentation you'll see
that there is quite a bit of
edit conflict handling already built in (they showed three people editing
the same page simultaneously).
I did watch it. That was live, they could see each other editing and
avoid each other. There was no conflict. You are talking about people
without live internet connections.
All people
reading Wikipedia need is a plain HTML file per article, nothing
more.
Easier said than done, though. The static HTML Wikipedia dumps haven't been
updated since June 2008. With Wave, updates are instantaneous.
MediaWiki updates are instantaneous. Where is the improvement in
people reading Wikipedia via Wave?
