Evan,
Your suggestion doesn't allow an administrator to approve the content before
it's added to the system. While it's true that Gustavo rarely, if ever,
kicks a book back because of an issue with the synopses, he still needs to
make sure that the content doesn't violate copyright laws.
Even if that weren't an issue, you'd still have the same problems that other
Wiki's do with differing opinions and a few people constantly reriting each
others synopsis because they prefer there's better or believe the other
person's is inaccurate. The last thing the staff wants to get into is
settling a squabble between two people constantly changing a synopsis back
and forth.
Gerald

I was just thinking that it might be nice if book information were in the
form of a wiki that volunteers could edit so a book doesn't have to be
resubmitted and go through the whole process in order to fix up stuff like
that.
