This is one of my favorite ideas!!

I would go a step further and suggest that a wiki be considered (and my 
favorite is TWiki -- see http://twiki.org)

AbiWord (and other projects) have started things like this -- see 
http://www.abisource.com/twiki/bin/view/Abiword/AbiWordFAQ.

BTW: TWiki can be difficult to install, especially on a remote server, 
and especially if you don't have root access.  Nevertheless, it can be 
done (but I have not done it -- I've only made local installs for a 
private TWiki).  (I also work on Wikilearn, at 
http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Wikilearn/WebChanges.)
