I admit, I'm usually lost during these discussions when it comes to
clarifying exactly what everyone's intent for a given feature is. I
did originally read it as a desire to allow anyone to edit any page on
the website, and I guess I jumped to a conclusion there.
That is probably because it is my personal desire to see a fully
collaborative, anyone-can-contribute (even anonymously), location for
tutorials, how-to's, and other communited-contributed content.
Clearly my impressions are mostly flawed, so I suppose I should just shut up :)
The only other thing I will say is that Drupal may have hundreds of
modules that make it behave like anything else out there - but when it
comes down to it, that *is* reinventing wheels, and feels clumsy to
me. Drupal's core functionality is *very* good, and I really do like
Drupal, but that doesn't mean that it's necessarily the best tool for
every job :)
In any case, I'll get off my soapbox for a while, since I'm clearly
wearing it out :D
