Yes, you are right. But I couldn't find any docs on RT/FM itself. > > I looked at a few of the various Wiki engines[1] and there are a lot of > > them.

Well, call me "radically egalitarian"[2]; I think keeping RCS revisions of all the pages is good enough. Having to register to edit pages is a bit off putting, but I don't think it is a huge deal. Certainly, the features of the system looks very nice. The TWikiWebs[3] are arguably a better approach to partitioning than the UseMod SubPages[4]. But a feature by feature comparison will be difficult without a lot more experience than I have. Anyway, I'm okay with TWiki. We may not get a lot of feedback from OpenAFS people until we actually try it. Maybe we should just go for it and see how people like using a Wiki. There is always the risk that if we don't get critical mass the system will just atrophy, but that's an unavoidable. Alternatively, we could spend a bit more time thinking about what sorts of documentation a Wiki would be good for. This might give us a better handle on the critical mass question.
