You know, Movable Type (http://movabletype.org) would
be great for this. It's a content management system
designed for weblogs, but it can be used for a lot
more (see
http://a.wholelottanothing.org/features.blah/entry/007162
for some examples). You can have multiple weblogs set
up (for example, we could have one for proposals, one
for go moves...) and give authors permission to only
post to certain weblogs, only edit their own posts,
etc. I just finished setting up MT for my own site;
I'd be glad to do it again for us.
