One could build a versioning system into the Wiki implementation (which of
course would be required anyway, as we need prior versions of the props and
rules) so an alteration to the document would move the old version to its
own number and have the page for the current version updated (perhaps
numbering should go pXXXX/0, pXXXX/1 as normal with pXXXX/c (for current)
being a mirror of pXXXX/n (where n is the revision number of the current
version, of course)

Then an implementation of users who can alter any page but make the
versioning system log who does what. This could even be useful for some
things (such as when I spotted that typo in bd's recent prop - we could make
fixing typos a change allowed under the ruleset (with some clauses about not
altering intent))
