Okay, I'll be installing a new wiki, with upload capability. Everyone who wishes to edit should send me an email directly to p...@slug.org with a preferred username and simple password.
The password is not for security, but simply to prevent defacement. And to give me a way to lock out users who upload pr0n that I don't find adequately tittilating. I'll stick to the same general type of wiki to minimize the rework of existing wiki-to-manpage scripts, which I believe exist.
