Is there any reason why that couldn't be done at the meta level?
I.e. there are documents, and there are organisations of those, but
there could be many organisations over one set of documents. Then a
means to compare organisational structures might be useful, with
relevant merging of branches at collaborating-user option. (03)
The trouble with wikis is that they impose their non-structuring ad
