Not only is a good wiki a fantastic tool for this, I've got one for you that's zero-installation and zero-cost. Zwiki is a robust and proven wiki engine and I'm still offering http://zwiki.org/FreeHosting. Later, export or zsync the content to your own Zope server if you wish. I use it all the time to organize information and and document procedures for my clients. The lightweight page hierarchy, email integration and integrated issue tracker come in handy. If you'd like further tips on this, ask me in #zwiki on irc.freenode.net.
http://zwiki.org/ZwikiTracker is easy and effective. See the links demonstrating three different views (use login x, x for the last). Also works in Plone.

I think a lot of people would find that useful - would you consider making it publicly available ?
true, if agreement with others is the only criteria for the moderator ranking. But other criteria can and should apply. Eg whether people (or rob, or a group of selected visionaries) consider your comments pertinent or your news items interesting (see my post in the first google thread above).
IMHO: Every reader should be able to moderate/cast a vote on any item at any time subject to appropriate weighting.
If their posts have been well-received, their moderation carries weight. If their previous moderations have agreed with other highly-ranked moderators, their moderation carries weight. If they are CmdrTaco, their moderation carries weight.
If they're new, if their posts have been downgraded, if they're anonymous, if they're participating in the discussion, their moderation carries less weight.
PS offtopic, but to wrap up and simplify this whole enterprise: 1. make news items and comments the same, and 2. allow very highly-ranked moderators to post news items.
(Then you just tweak the weighting/ranking criteria to keep the subject matter and style of the whole thing focussed the way you want: ie the slashdot that we know and love:)

In what ways is Etch "much, much more reliable" than Ubuntu ?
That would be Zwiki. Eg: http://zwiki.org/FrontPage/contents#PageHierarchy. This was partly influenced by Drupal's books.

I for one welcome our new AI overlords.
Croquet. There's nothing else like it.
That's a f*n great idea. You'd have to vote on the 50/50 split though. A big project shouldn't lose half it's revenues for using one tiny library.
Something like this is just what's going to happen.
You can also set up an account at zope.org and be using it within a minute.
LOL :) Very good point.
