How do you set up a WordPress blog with multiple authors to allow something like StackExchange’s “community wiki” feature?

I believe your best bet is to create a custom post type for the certain posts you want editable by multiple authors.

When you register your post assign a capability type (#WIKI# in this example) and then add the ‘edit_others_#WIKI#s’ to the author role.
