[support] Is there a standard way to do this with CCK/views (etc) - a tutorial would be fantastic...

Quoting Steve <sjh_drupal at shic.co.uk>:

> I'm looking to establish a website in which a community researches a

> community being similar to that of a wiki - but I want the data to be 
> more structured than that.  At the outset, I envision each 'record' 
> to conform to a simple format - including a free-text notes field.  
> As time goes by, I envision new (possibly optional) fields to suggest 
> themselves (at the end-user domain-focused logical level, at least) 
> and I want the site to be able to evolve (without downtime, and with 
> minimum 'programming') to embrace ever more structured records.
>
> A major stumbling block is that, while the community is expected to 
> have a common goal, some of the data might easily be contentious - 
> hence it is essential that the changes are version-controlled and 
> that an audit trail can be reviewed.

Administer the Content Type with admin/content/types and add "Create 
new revision" under the "Workflow settings" fieldset.  Then allow the 
users to review and/or revert the revisions in admin/user/permissions 
for the Node module.
