Something that could be updated by the public (safely).

My first reading of WORG (since restructuring) missed a lot. I now see
the idea of using git via sourcehut.  Git may not be as simple as an
open edit wiki, but it probably provides more tools for tracking.

In worg-about, it looks like the repo is ~bzg/worg on src.ht, but "worg"
doesn't come up in the project search on src.ht (but "org" does).  Is
the repo hidden (I don't have an account on src.ht yet -- perhaps
sourcehut should be explained a bit in worg-about).

Duh! Why did I forget about EmacsWiki?!?  Web accessible editing is a
plus to allow organic growth to the wiki -- as long as some rules are
followed. Wikis allow easy undoing of page edits (if necessary) and (I
think) locking pages to be edited only by a few people (creator/admins).
There could be a talk page for suggesting additions to a use-case to
make it more flexible which the use-creator creator could test and
incoporate into the use-case (or just tag it as interesting).

The key thing, though, will be making snippets of elisp code easily
available for people to cut and paste into their own .emacs file.

I haveto look at WORG and EmacsWiki some more.
