Thanks Simon for your detailed analysis. I got around to investigating this further today. I enabled the MediaWiki as a hosted app for Barry, and I agree that there are some rough edges. I can't recommend using it until I'm able to make a full backup with their interface. I get some kind of network error at the moment. I also think that Trac is likely overkill for us... we already have mailing list and bug tracker, and I'm definitely a mailing list guy instead of a web management guy. :-) > But it's even worse: I activated a sourceforge wiki for my user account > and discovered that the mail-function is broken.

Yes, please do feel free to send any documentation patches to the list. MediaWiki is up as a hosted app, and I believe it is possible to add yourself as a user. I was not able to do it as admin. This is only experimental, though, until I get a successful test of the backup functionality.
