The Python Wiki should also be considered: * Comparing versions is easy, and versions are only saved on "Save" * It supports reStructuredText, so there is no need for conversion afterwards. And it's vendor-neutral :-) Touche. I still don't like wikis for this purpose very much -- a person editing effectively grabs a lock on the whole file. (Wikimedia addresses this to some extend by allowing sections to be edited, but I don't see this feature in moinmoin yet, and I don't see us switching.) Also there is no access control -- anyone who can create a login can edit. Isn't it the good oportunity to try a DVCS ?

That was my original suggestion, yes, but Stephen Turnbull suggested Google Docs instead.
