One of the difficulties I faced as a publisher was in wading through  
the hazardous area of document revisions. In my experience, a  
hierarchical approach worked best, whereby progressive edits were  
handled by more senior editors at each iteration. The oversight of  
edits is always frustratingly complex, and there are as many  
approaches to this as there are publishing houses.

Wikis don't really come into play here: since it's rare for a team of  
editors to work with even responsibilities (though not impossible, of  
course)
