This seems like a great idea, but I cannot get the thing to work. Specifically the edit page comes up, but when I try to save the edited page I get the error message "Something didn't go as expected; page not saved". My first thought was permissions, but lots of dicking around with permissions, culminating in giving rw permission to all three of user/staff/other for both the file being edited and the directory in which it lives were not helpful. Neither was the file open in another editor. My suspicion is that people having problems with permissions may be complaining about this wikieditish issue.
