Are you talking about a Page (as opposed to post) in WP terms or just a general "webpage" or, eventually, a post?
That makes all the difference...

Well I don't really understand what you're looking for. But the best place to start your search would have to be on wordpress. Try looking for user account plugins and things along that line. If their is a plugin it'll be under that keyword. I'm almost sure of it.

Hmm, let's see - so do you want users to be able to edit your wordpress pages? And these edits actually show up on the pages?

So is it a bit like commenting except every user gets to do it only once although they can update it later?

Sorry if I'm way off on this, but it wasn't evident (to me) from the OP as to what exactly is needed...

Maybe there is a wiki/wordpress plug in out there that could be modded to do what you want.

  You know what he wants?
  (all the above posts are requesting more info because, seemingly, nobody really understood what the question was...)

There are plugins that allow guest authorship on the blog in a moderated fashion, and as I recall, there's even one that charges people to submit the post in the first place. I can't recall the name of it, but I know for sure it exists because I've come across it multiple times when looking for something else.

Don't know if that helps much, but if that's what you're looking for, at least now you know that it's not a unicorn, right? I'll see if I can rustle it up when I have a chance to dig in my wordpress bookmarks.

EDIT: That took way less time to track down than I thought:

A comment system that users can post to only once - if my memory serves me right, I haven't quite seen a plugin that let's you do this exactly. You can try tweaking the comments system that's already in place that prevents a single WP user from posting more than one comment per post.

Try doing what I was recommending above and using a theme something like Prologue - it's made to look kind of like a twitter discussion as it displays, and that may actually be close to what you're looking for with just a little theme modding.

P2: The NewPrologue Blog WordPress.com

That way you don't need some kind of mechanism inside an actual post because each entry IS a post. They are searchable and displayable and with the plugin I already mentioned, update-able and editable by the posters.

I use Prologue on several of my blogs and I like it a lot. I never thought of doing something like what you're attempting with it, but it could be pretty cool. I may set something like that up as a kind of UGC system with my autoblogging - get people to submit a post in one place and then I have it in a feed and can push it out to all my other blogs... Maybe charge people to do that...

Hmm. Possibilities! But I digress - that might still not suit your needs, but I think it comes close, so I hope it helps!
