Take a look at the plugins that exist. There might be something.

You can see who did what, where, and when by looking at the diffs.  The
diffs are listed at the bottom of each page.  Click on the link called
Diffs.  Or you can jump right to version r1.5 by clicking on the r1.5 link.

Twiki (which is what this site is called) is an interesting concept.  It
allows anyone to change any page at any time.  I've made it so that you have
to register to change things simply so that someone's name shows up instead
of guest.  So you can change the look of any page in the twiki.
Anyone can.  It took a while for that to sink in for me.  But anyone can
click on the Edit link at the bottom of any page and change that page.

The idea is that you read the code I have posted.  Chances are high that you
don't like it (don't feel bad - neither does anyone else, it's pretty ugly
code).  You click on the Edit link (after previously registering) and change
or add new code that shows the way you like it.  Everyone does this.  After
several people have changed things, we will see what the community agrees is
good coding style.

Another use is to put a new topic there (by editing the Sandbox page) that
has code that has been discussed here.  For example, the code that recently
came up about the socket problem.  The code was posted, and a couple of
people posted fixes.  That code could become a new topic and then helpful
posters could change the code to answer questions.  Maybe even a body of
code would be built up this way that answers common questions or illustrates
common techniques.

As for colors, I don't know a way to do that.  But maybe someone does?
