Actually, I have done this _with_ the wiki-like component, for the
Scandinavian e-text project that I run, "Project Runeberg".  If you
want to help me proofread the Swedish translation of Poe's "The
Raven", you don't need to know Swedish, you only have to visit
http://www.lysator.liu.se/runeberg/rydbdikt/0060.html
and scroll down til you see the OCR text below the facsimile image.

I'm afraid you'll get an error when you try to "save" (I should fix
this bug soon), but you should get the idea.  There's so much that can
be done by borrowing ideas from wiki into other projects.  Note that
this implementation is still a prototype, and should be developed
further and bugfixed before it is launched publicly.

There's even a "recent changes" with diffs and all on
