   Well, the question for you (and Ubik and Alfie) is then what wiki engine   
   would we use, and what will your hosting company allow you to run?   
      
   Warning: The following paragraphs contain mild geek themes.   
      
   I am no wiki expert - I've worked with MoinMoin, Trac and Twiki, of   
   which I found Trac to be the most satisfying (although perhaps overkill   
   for our needs). It seems to me Ubik and Alfie are pretty clued up on   
   this front - so I would humbly suggest they tell us what wiki engine(s)   
   they are familiar with, and then we can look at what the technical   
   pre-reqs are (PHP? Python? Perl? MySQL? System 370 Assembly language?)   
   and then you can advise whether your infrastructure could support it?   
      
   I'm also wondering whether we should take the deeply tech stuff offline   
   so as not to bore the remainder of the ng to tears? Bizarrely, emails   
   sent to the saintalfonzospancakebreakfast.com email address do actually   
   reach me (I've been cybersquatting this domain for years... sooner or   
   later someone will want it...) but I'm not sure about the rest of yous?
