That's a bit more ambitious than what I had in mind, at least at the  
very start, but I think that's a fine goal.

Why don't we do this:  Why don't we get MediaWiki up on the MacOSForge  
cluster and start experimenting with it?  If we don't like it, we  
certainly don't have to use it, but we should have options.  I've used  
trac to edit various things on MacOSForge and cannot consider myself a  
fan of it given how it makes a number of things which should be simple  
and obvious, well, rather less so.  I've also added entries to  
wikipedia, or edited existing ones, and found that to be a very  
straight-forward and relatively intuitive process by comparison.
