This is very close to what I had in mind. I've never been so delighted to be
wrong. Thank you Ren?.
However, I stand by these points:
The participants in a thread have a strong understanding of the context and
what the replies mean in that context.
They are better equipped than either me or Julie Campbell to decide what is
relevant when condensing their thread.
People often don't write up their own thread as a how-to. This is due to
things like deadlines or sometimes a lack of self-confidence in writing for
public consumption.
I'm offering to do the wordsmithing, because I think it will improve the
quality of a resource that I personally need.
Classic open-source enlightened self-interest.
Thomas, Julie's wiki is indeed GPL'd.

I'm sure you've seen the message in which Rene pointed me in the direction
of pretty much exactly what I was proposing. I've had a look at it and it is
indeed what I have in mind but it is very new - clearly this is an idea
whose time has come. I am throwing my lot in with Julie (the op of this
wiki) although I note she says that she would merge with wixwiki if they
agreed to let her, but they ignored her request.
They didn't ignore my request - I do indeed have a login that allows me to
update wixwiki, so this too may happen.
Yes, it's all GPFDL.
Have a look at the history of this piece
http://wix.mindcapers.com/wiki/ICE60 and you will see the before and after.
This is what I mean when I say people should cull the essence of their
thread and give it to me for rewriting.
