MGR: Opinions needed

http://test.phoenyx.net/gamehawk/wiki/117.html

mentions play by wiki.  Now, Gamehawk will, as I mention in that post, 
support this natively, only without the hassle of having to actually use 
the wiki.  (Yes, that sounds funny.)

At the end of the scene, the gamemaster will go and update the wiki 
version of the posts.  The question is, is it better to edit the 
entire-thread version as one big page (while the individual message pages 
are still in their original form), or edit any individual posts that need 
it (which the entire-thread page will then display)?

I'd recommend the former.  The way I've done archive postings for
Kalyr often involves splitting up posts and rearranging paragraphs.
For instance, if one player posts a long speech, and another player
quotes and responds to individual paragraphs, I'll edit that to read
like a conversation.

That's been kind of my inclination.  Now, if we make each *paragraph* a 
wiki element (a la PurpleNumbers) that's still possible, but... uh, no.

The drawback, then, is that the individual posts won't be changed.  Which 
may or may not be an actual drawback, depending.
