By "this" are you referring to the language that will live on the
page, or the html itself? If the former, I'd be perfectly happy
working on it in a google doc or wiki. If the latter, I'd wager it
could be stuck in a svn repository somewhere, but I'm not really
qualified to comment on such things. If some temporary dev space were
needed for this, I could likely setup some space on my servers. I'd
have to run it by the company owner, but he's very OSS friendly and is
always looking for ways we (as a company) can help out.

This would also be easily automatable if the records were kept
electronically. Once setup, there would be little care and feeding
needed.
