You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Sounds cool.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I was afraid of that.

The key would be modifying good wiki software to put our user security on top of it.

Forcing one to be logged in to post or edit is probably not as complex as fully replacing any wiki security tables with our own.

But I will think on it.

If anyone knows any wiki software that might lend itself gracefully to these mods, plese holler.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

hivemind.buffistas.org, the Buffista wiki

Oooooooh. I like this idea.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

It could replace the FAQ...

That is, a subset of the wiki could be the FAQ.

Brialliant. I love it. I hope it can be implemented without too much work on your part, ita.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Haven't a number of people been working on editing and refining the FAQ for a while now? I'm not sure that's something that should be editable by all registered users. Just think how many times serial commas would be edited in and out.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

But they could edit serial commas in and out and in and out and in and out and IN WHICH IS THE ONE TRUE ANSWER instead of discussing it! That's the beauty of the thing!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I'm with amy on this.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I'm certainly looking forward to deleting commas in the middle of the night.

Don't you mean

they could edit serial commas in, and out, and in, and out, and in, and out, and IN WHICH IS THE ONE TRUE ANSWER, instead of discussing it!
