This is a really interesting idea. Any story that really matters unfolds over a period of months or years, and stumbling upon a couple of articles a month about it doesn't inform the reader very well. And what if the first article you read about it is in the middle of the unfolding? A wiki-style document, updated as the story unfolds, organized so that anyone can get an overview and then drill down into the details, seems like a really good idea. Some JavaScript and such could allow stories to be viewed chronologically, by topic, keyword, etc. (Something like TiddlyWiki could be a good place to start.)
