Here is a great quote, and, I think, a goal to work towards for OpenACS

Go back to May 1999 for an explanation. "When I'm writing for the web, and I'm browsing my own site, every bit of text that I created has a button that says Edit this Page when I view it. When I cleick the button, a new page opens with the text in an HTML textarea. I edit. Click on Submit. The original page displays with the change. Three easy steps."

From: http://davenet.userland.com/1999/05/24/editThisPage

Our edit-this-page package was inspired by this, and is a step in the right direction in some ways, but could use the CR more effectively.
