   Hey guys,

   I'm looking for some help here for a project that I'm working on. I'm trying to hack wordpress into a system where users can register and create content.

   But I would also like the content to be editable by other users on the site.

   So as long as you are a registered user, you can change the content. Everytime you change the content, the previous version will be saved and there should be a diff like tool to enable reverts. Hence it should function like a Wiki. (But linking is not necessary. I would like each post to have plain content but no wiki like links at all)

   In summary, registered users will create new posts. Each posts should have versioning capabilities that will make it feel like a Wiki.

   I have been searching for many days for a plugin solution, but I can't seem to find a suitable one that works. I found a Blicki plugin written by Ryan Boren. I believe the purpse of that plugin is close to what I need. But after installing it, it just doesn't seem to work: it doesn't add any Edit buttons or links to display previous versions. I can't find any documentation on it either.

   Can anyone shed some light on this? Or maybe suggest some things?

   This might be a stupid question, but why not just use a wiki? Rather than try to do this via wordpress?

   this is because i'd like to make use of features such as comments, categories and tagging that's available in WP. it's also more user friendly! =)

   actually, it'd be really nice if someone with the necessary experienced could read the Blicki plugin code and explain what will happend and what UI changes will it result in? the lack of documentation in the code makes it a little hard for me to understand. =(
