Has anyone used a wiki for a group transcription or indexing project?
It seems to me that might be another good genealogical application,
especially when working from scanned images.  Easy for checkers to
correct transcription errors.  A ready-built mechanism for discussion
of uncertain transcriptions.  Partial results available in real time
starting on day one.  Automatically full-text searchable.
