If you are looking for a nice free z/OS Wiki solution,
http://jspwiki.apache.org/  runs pretty well under Tomcat on z/OS.   I have
heard of several shops that use it to maintain z/OS maintenance info.

We did a SHARE z/OS Tomcat lab years ago (2006-2007) where one of the
exercises was setting up JspWiki.   We have a z/OS-centric Apache Tomcat
package available free from our website:
