AFAIK emacswiki don't offer that. At http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/WikiQuestions I read: ,---- | Question: Can I retrieve parts of EmacsWiki with a network distributed VersionControl system like DaRcs, SubVersion or CVS? | | Answer: Unfortunately, no. `---- Bill-board idea comes from the reliability of versions-control in combination with that easy access and installing, launchpad provides.

However, there is another pro: as it's reflected to use bazaar as vc for emacs, it might help to play with before in just the way, a bill-board may offer.
