Well that's an interesting idea. What sort of programming language would let us build a package repo that could survive a Wikipedia-style edit war? Wikipedia works because articles are mostly independent. There are links, but if they're broken it's not fatal. There are also a fair number of stub articles and a bureaucracy around what counts as a notable subject. In practice, projects have owners, and they're looking for help, but not just anyone's help. |

Really, the programming language isn't important, its the package management and repository system that matters for that. And, a repository that keeps history and a package/dependency management system that lets you specify the particular version of a dependency would seem to suffice to address the particular problem you relate.
