Probably with >1 day lock on each section of the work in question. My only suggestion is that rather than working at "paragraph" or "chapter" level that you chose an intermediate: blocks of text of "page" size, where a page is no more than a chapter, no less than X lines, and starts and stops on a paragraph boundary. X can be determined by looking at what is typically a maximum workable wiki page size (no idea what that is), and dividing by 4 (allowing for 1 line of English to 1 line of Lojban to 1-2 lines of comment). lojbab -- lojbab lojbab@lojban.org Bob LeChevalier, President, The Logical Language Group, Inc. 2904 Beau Lane, Fairfax VA 22031-1303 USA 703-385-0273 Artificial language Loglan/Lojban: http://www.lojban.org
