I think having a wiki is the best first step since we have nothing at the 
moment. Already a few people have volunteered to help with the web page, and 
if we can immediately give them a wiki to edit then it avoids the hassle, 
the risks and the learning curve of giving them direct access to your web 
server.

I haven't used Trac but it sounds like it includes things like bug tracking 
which SourceForge already provides so I wouldn't want to duplicate that (it 
would be more work to maintain too). What else does it provide that 
SourceForge doesn't?

> What about spam control?

I don't know the answer to that. The only other project that I am a 
developer on and that has a wiki is www.mingw.org but I have never seen spam 
on that wiki.
