It sounds like emacs org-mode would be what you're looking for. - I use org-mode table feature to write checklists for system outages. Not as exiting as a space walk, granted. - I don't use revision history but ... emacs. I bet it _has_ revision history. - It's text. It can be edited by every editor you have heard of, and those you haven't. - Underneath emacs is lisp. Assuming you've got a database of _some_ kind you can probably write a function to talk to it.
