I don't *think* this one has been suggested yet.

I'd like to be able to set _some_ of my FTX pages so that any member may
edit them.

The example which prompted this thought is a page I just made,
<http://www.lugnet.com/cad/~699/swminifigs/>.  I did not spend a lot of time
researching the information on this page.  I *know* it is incomplete, and I
assume it has one or more errors.  Frankly, if someone comes along who spots
an error, or wants to fill in the missing information, or add images, or
links or whatever, I'd be more than happy if they could edit the contents
themselves.

I think this opens a can of worms and is a bad idea.  It would allow a
user with few scruples and an axe to grind access to modifying or even
deleting your web page in a way that you might not like.

Why not link your page to a thread in the news server, and say that if
anyone has any updates they should post in that thread.
