How about allowing amendments? Shall we use Robert's Rules of Order?
Robert's Rules are really designed for a situation where everyone is in the same room (and trying to all talk at once). The problems on a wiki or a mailing list are different.
In particular, Robert's Rules rely heavily on having a single chair, which would surely cause difficulty here.
Also, I don't think the method of having a single motion which gets 'voted into shape' by amendments, before the final form is voted on, would be the best for us (if we decide we want to use voting at all).
