You might look into Cathy Marshall's hypertext research at Xerox PARC, particularly the <a href="http://bush.cs.tamu.edu/~marshall/viki-sidebar.html">VIKI project</a> (although you have to give it up for a female IA researcher with the metaphorical stones to name two consecutive other projects AQUANET and VO5).

And perhaps the long-knight's move of (+-3,+-1) for a fifth. Consider four simple relations on a chessboard: forward/back, side, diagonal, knight’s move.

It's actually as discrete as an HTTP POST request. If you look at history pages on well-designed wikis (or even the ones on Wicker! hah!), you'll see every change ever made to them, right down to the smallest. The challenge there is that not every change is large/interesting enough to vote on, or even to comment on when you make it. Who decides? Thing about this is, the change of wikis only looks smooth.

How do you freeze a wiki - perhaps the users can do this, time-stamping a wiki with a command, and lodging the text either locally or on server.

If my coding efforts are good for one thing, it's entertainment. :-) The really great thing about WIki is that it makes people believe. I'm not sure where that comes from precisely. Thanks, Lars.

It is a personal thing.
