That would be really awesome, I suggest that we introduce such a
mechanism in a way that ANYONE can edit and that we moderate or filter
spam after the fact, not *before*. As gatekeeping in this way will make
the WIP documents edits grind to a halt and not be a viable solution.

We could use a wiki for this, but inspired by Wikipedia's model where
one does not need to register, or that registration is approved with an
easy process where many people have power to approve registrations so
registrations are never stuck waiting for approval. After such
registrations, users must be able to make unlimited edits to the wiki
as they wish. If there's problematic edits, we can moderate and filter
spam after the fact.

These are to me requirements for such an initiative to succeed.
