NexistWiki (http://www.nexist.org/wiki/) does automatic versioning of
edited paragraphs. If one document is contained on one page, essentially
the latest version of each paragraph is displayed. What NexistWiki does
not do (yet) is perform a magic export function which gives you the final
draft of the document. (04)
For privacy, there is a new feature that resides only on the private home
page of logged-in users: New Private Doc button. It creates a Document that
is part of what is now called PrivWiki, and pages marked like that are not
visible to anyone unless someone publishes the URL, at which time, the
document is nolonger private. PrivWiki pages do not show up on
RecentEdits. So, with that feature, it is possible to go online and begin
editing private documents. (05)
Appropriate Warning: When the database gets dumped to an XML file for
backup purposes, PrivWiki and private User home pages are now visible, but
only to the superuser who performed the dump. (06)
