A Wiki Based Dialog System

I've been sick today and yesterday and been home from work. That gave me time to do some heavy duty coding.

I've spend some time creating an experimental dialog system based on the Wiki principles, where everyone can edit, add and remove contents.
The dialog could be used everywhere, but my aim for the project is for it to be usable within the game development area.

Try imagining a game (MUD-type, graphical RPG, adventure, whatever) that implements this kind of system. The stories and dialogs in the game would be constantly changing and improving every time the player plays the game.
People could fix grammar and add new dialogs online extremely easily.

Enough of my rant. Here's some links related to the project:
