[tlug] Web-based edit/update software?



Greetings,

As those TLUGers who read SLJ may know, I am slowly moving towards
the semi-wikification of my dictionary, etc. projects. Ultimately
I want to get them into the state of being "open" projects operating in
some sort of peer-moderated environment.

Currently all new EDICT entry submissions coming in via the WWW form 
at http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~jwb/wwwnewword.html   go live the next
day on the WWWJDIC server. See:
http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/jwb/wwwjdic?1MDJ%C9%FC%B9%E6
for an example of one.  Also my master database for EDICT/JMdict
generates a "new" version each day, both the WWWJDIC and the release
versions, so amendments I make become available in a short time.

The next step will be to put the whole thing online for edit/new-entry,
with edits having to be signed off by a moderator before they go live.

I've been looking at possible software platform I could use to build
an online moderated edit system. There are several wiki engines
around, but all seem rather geared to the anything-goes, full wiki
arrangements. What I want is to have a pool of trusted moderators
interposed between edits and the live database. That way I will cease
to be a bottleneck in the process, and the projects might continue if
I fall off the twig.

Does anyone know of open-source software that does that sort of thing?
My target environment is Apache, and if necessary MySQL.

Cheers

Jim
