Setting up a Wiki is pretty simple. I thought it was going to be hard, but it wasn't too bad. But then, I am a computer programmer (although not a web design type person). Choral Public Domain Library (CPDL) is built around a wiki - it uses the same wiki as Wikipedia. The Wikipedia folks make the Wiki software freely available through MediaWiki.org. I would suggest getting help in setting it up if you are a computer novice. However, there may be pre-built packages that you can use (there are on Windows, I found, which is what made it fairly easy). If you're not a computer person, I would suggest getting help, though. Setting up a Wiki server may be pretty easy, but there can be pitfalls, even for someone in the business.
There is one small issue - whether you have a server or not to install it on. Typically, you install it on a machine other than your laptop/desktop. However, you can install it on your laptop/desktop ... it's just no one else generally gets to use it.
