It would certainly seem a sensible place to implement
flavour-of-the-month, stable revisions...
(you'd need a stronger form than the one Brion says we're looking at,
though - perhaps only allowing the original author or an assigned
coauthor to approve changes? But same concept)
I wonder if there's anyone who might be interested in trialling the idea.
There is the 1.0 CD project, which is adding articles to the list one
article (or version) at a time. You don't need a separate wiki for
that - just a list of links.
