I'm a sysadmin, not a programmer. I am too busy to learn to write code
well, I leave that to experts. Too bad so many programmers think they
are good SysAdmins, when they really aren't. :-)

You might take a look at plone. It has a wiki module that works well,
and allows a lot of collaboration. My LUG http://www.kernel-panic.org
has been using it for some time, and it seems to work well. We had
problems with wiki spammers with previous wikis, that we aren't having
so much anymore.
