Yeah, that's really more your world than mine ;)

Nope!  Not at all.  I guess I should have been a little more explicit
with what I meant.  It certainly could run anywhere we'd like to host
it, or be one of the hosted wiki's you're talking about.  Shouldn't be
too hard to get a subdomain pointed somewhere else if we decide to do
that.

I guess I was just going for "for ease, it would be rad if it could run
on our existing hosting situation but it's really not a big deal".

Nope!  Again, should have been more specific.  What I meant was "I only
know about Instiki and i2 in Ruby and they both suck.  That pretty much
discounts the common Ruby wiki packages (which we should make at least a
cursory effort to explore as options since we are, in fact, pdx.rb)."

Even if I had meant those things, it's not like I have the authority to
enforce any of it :)  I just want to get something that works and is
easy to deal with.  If that means a Rails wiki running at PA, great.  If
it's just easier to set up a pbwiki, whatever.  Just no mediawiki plz ;)
