There are tons of wikis available. The most famous is MediaWiki for Wikipedia. But oddmuse is only one Perl script that works anywhere. MoinMoin has a nice balance between eyecandy and ease of use. You see it on some open-source sites. I also like DokuWiki Since it is so easy to create wiki pages, the challenge is to prevent a spaghetti-ball forming. Read all about it starting at http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?WelcomeVisitors where it all started Also, a wiki is social software which some people are shy about using. Setting one up is like boiling a frog, you have to do it slowly. For minutes of meetings you can setup a mailing list like this one but in notification mode. For documentation, several dedicated wikis can be setup. Think about a page naming scheme that is consistent for your purpose.
