I seem to remember that there was a conversation some months ago in
which you expressed the opinion that you wanted to replace the wiki
software. I now cannot remember the ins and outs, and iirc the
conversation just fizzelled out inconclusively. I feel that compared
to some of the more modern systems the one we are currently using is
visually 'clunky', and somewhat difficult to use. I just saw this
little advert for what looked like a more visually pleasing wiki and
merely wondered if it would be any good for our purposes.

Remember that if the blog, wiki, CMS, whatever was easier to use it
might well get a lot more use than the current system.

I'll second that.

I think I might download it and see how easy it is to install and how
well it works.
