Why no wiki'ing ??

[Joe Armstrong]

  It will indeed - there is no concurrency locking - when I wrote it I
thought the traffic would be so  low that the chances of collision are
so small that I wouldn't bother.

  I did  write a version that  gave you a  lock for a few  minutes but
it's not that easy ...

  So yes - if  you spend a long time editing a  page and write it back
somebody  who got  in-between  with a  quick  edit may  be  in for  an
interesting surprise.

  This might happen - now - if *everybody* goes and tries to do what I
suggest at the same time :-)
