Hi Kunal, This is a good idea. I myself have experience setting up and using wiki's for internal project use at our company. I have used two wiki engines: 1) MediaWiki (Apache, PHP, MySQL based) - Setting up is easy on any platform. But its markup is somewhat hard to remember and use. 2) TWiki (Apache, Perl, Flat files based) - Setup is easy on GNU/Linux system but really problematic on Windows. Markup is really easy to remember and use. I would like to receive more inputs about this idea from others. Also I don't even have slightest idea about the facilities on the server that hosts PLUG site. So we can't yet decide which Wiki clone is better. Waiting for replies.
