It is more powerful + intuitive than Perl, so it'd be
good to have GNE written in this in the end :)

I guess if people want to add/append bits to articles,
they can submit another and, because of the
password/username bit, we know its the original
author, and there can be an "append to article:
XXXXXX" box too. But how we'd let others append
articles they don't write, or add bits that are
inter-linked, or allow people tp update previous
articles, I don't really know! The last one could be
done easily, just haven't thought of the mechanism for
it yet.

Most certainly would!
