You know: Maybe we could have the best of both worlds: How about a flag that says "Make this post editable for all"? Normally it would be unchecked, but any poster could check it for his or her post at any time. There should be a clear message in the interface that marks that particular post as editable.

A variation could be that every forum post automatically gets its own wiki section at the very beginning. People could use it or not. That would be optional.

Either way we would get a fluid mix of personal statements and wiki-like group efforts.

Viewing a post's source should still be possible for each and every post, but that could be decoupled from editing the source.
