With good editors yes.  If nobody changes the words that others
write, then a threaded mail archiver like that in google groups
does just as good a job.

Google groups in particular.  The one in e.g., mail.gnome.org/archives
is much less useful. Being able to read the next/prev messages
in the thread without clicking is very useful.  Anyone know of such
a tool?  Preferably one that can tie into search?

Anyone should be able to post changes and
all changes should be logged so that if there
is a problem we can back out the changes
and put user restrictions in place.

Is it feasible to make a mail gateway?
There should be some sort of tracking
mechanism which people can subscribe to.
Those with too much time on their hands
(the editors) could receive a diff for each
change as it happens.  Others could receive
daily or weekly summaries.  Others could
receive updates on pages they have editted.
