I've had the idea for a while of a webpage for entering and modifying proposals.  
They'd have to be stored under a player's name (and probably passworded, though 
we tend to be cool on that level in this game), so that the player can edit it as 
frequently as e needs.  There could be a button on the page that published it to the 
public forum by way of emailing it to the list.

Could this perhaps be done through the wiki, giving anyone who clicked a "new 
proposal" button an edit box and save and publish buttons?  Does the wiki have a 
provision for template pages?
