http://chcheck.com You can create checklists, create and track changes between instances, diff changes between the master and instances, create iterative checklists, embed checklists in other checklists and set dependencies. Also the interface was built with usability and flexibility in mind. I have also added task, data list, comment, contact and document management since all of those are necessary for a good proces…

I will be putting up a directory of public checklists in the near future.

Isn't the idea posted above more focused on the crowdsourcing/directory aspect of this, and not so much the "I've created a great checklist creator!" part? It's not "EXACTLY" what s/he's talking about by any means.

I apologize if that seemed like an exaggeration. The directory is why I created this product, that feature is just not out-the-door yet. This post was a little earlier than I was planning.

One of the intentions of the product is to handle these large distributed processes with the management of a Master Checklist that can be diffed with other masters and instances. I added that feature to facilitate those sort of crowdsourced checklists/processes.

None other than that if you or somebody else builds it let me know, I'll be a user for sure. That's an excellent idea. Combine it with a todo list service maybe ?

http://www.enleiten.com went for that approach, but hasn't really gotten over the chicken-egg problem wrt public user lists. Still, might be interesting.

I really wanted something like this for going hiking. When you go on a four-day hike it really, really sucks if you forget something important. But there are about 20 important things, so you can't rely on remembering them all. You need to build a checklist. But this process takes a while and discourages casual hikers from going on longer hikes.

So I would love a checklist tool that I could use for this. Right now I am using jottit and just making a list; if your system worked better I would use it.
