It would be very interesting to see what success or otherwise others have had with round tripping public edits back to various Collections Management Systems.
For the Shropshire Heritage Heroes project we've been doing just that : volunteers enriching the Archives / Museums data via editing 'proxies' in a type of Wiki approach,
the changes then fed back out to each of the various CollMS' update processes.
Due in no small part to Richard's help with XUpdate and MODES, that was the only CollMS I'd say worked perfectly.
All the others ranged from extremely difficult to nearly impossible to do this with. I won't name them.

(Of course, if these enhancements are available as Linked Data, there is no need to re-import them at all. Just use them "in place".)
