This sounds like a job for mediawiki. Update: looks like Matt got there first. Should have known – he’s a pretty smart guy :).

It’s finally here…announcing the prior art wiki!!!
http://www.WikiPatents.com, a new website just launched on Aug. 28, 2006, enables large-scale public commentary on published patents and, soon, pending patent applications. Among other things, users can add previously overlooked prior art references, vote on the relevance of both original and user-added prior art, and comment on the implications of prior art. Check it out at http://www.WikiPatents.com/.
