I'm interested in the application of CI to applications such
as wikis and even ontology editors:

  Continuous Integration Support for Wikis

  Safety Nets for OWLs
  http://www.cfcl.com/rdm/weblog/archives/001695.html

In many situations, systems can become so complex that humans
can't foresee all the implications of their actions.  In such
a situation, even reasonable-seeming changes can cause things
to break in unexpected ways.

So, having an automated suite of "sanity checks" seems like a
Very Good Idea, regardless of whether the content in question
is conventional source code, wiki pages, etc.
