We discussed this just briefly at the recent meeting.  The main point
mentioned was that perhaps it is best to follow a wiki that has
similar markup commands as mediawiki, because we expect many people to
know about this wiki due to wikipedia.

With that in mind here is the start of a list of wiki requirements.

* Easy markup commands (Ideally like MediaWiki)
* Light resource usage (Currently our server does not have a lot of
RAM)
* User access control

Below is the start of wiki options:

* [http://www.mediawiki.org/ MediaWiki]
** PHP, MySQL/PostGres

* [http://www.usemod.com UseMod]
** Perl, no need for a database
** Fairly similar markup to MediaWiki


Personally, I have used UseMod for a long time and find it simple to
setup and sufficient for internal uses.  Although, it might be weak
with regards to user access control.

Please feel free to add to this!

Best,
Zev
