Renato,

What you could do is to let everyone use a wiki, as that gives you the ACL
& user friendliness for non-tech users.

Have some automated exporter job that generates a whole set of RST files in
a sphinx compatible way based on the wiki. And use Sphinx to compile it
into a readonly format (epub, pdf, ...)
