I don't want to slow this down if others are ready to proceed. I wish I had the sysadmin skills to 
demonstrate and rapidly update the wiki engine I've been recommending, but I was able to ask others 
to install a demo of it on my site. What you'll see there is a stock installation of the latest 
version; I have not even added any sample content yet: http://twiki.wikipages.com/bin/view/ (Never 
mind the subdomain, which is from a previous install before they underwent a name change.)

It includes three "webs" which you can see in the bottom of the lefthand column: Main, Sandbox and 
System. Look at System for the built-in documentation which is very thorough, and use the Sandbox 
to play around a bit.
