Trac is SCM & Bug tracking and since you already have BZ, I'm not sure if installing Trac just for Wiki would make sense. I know Fedora used to use MoinMoin but moved to Mediawiki, but I'm not sure why (didn't see the conversations). I'm up for helping with whichever one you choose. I can also help install & configure if you want. I've not yet logged into people.atrpms.net, but I wouldn't mind starting to contribute. /Brian/
