MediaWiki already kind of does this - new entries or ready entries are put in an editing queue. That queue could be easily reconfigured to work as a visual control. Other wikis allow the managers to set up workflow that can batch these types of entries too. I think the organic nature of something like that wants as little control as possible - so I like the idea of using something non-controlling like Personal Kanban for this. John, Yes!

(I'm thinking of the simplest possible tool that MIGHT work.) I remember hearing Mimi Ito, talking about writing up the results of a 3 year study ("Hanging Out, Messing Around, and Geeking Out: Kids Living and Learning With New Media by: Mizuko Ito, et al. http://ISBN.nu/9780262013369 ). Each person put their notes from individual ethnographic projects on a wiki and worked in public, but others could read, comment, weave. It makes for a really great book, but it must have been difficult to coordinate. Jim, Have you ever seen a small / personal Kanban for a writing project on a wiki?
