I think the problem is a fear of SPAM. I run 8 Wiki's on Sourceforge, 4 private Wikis and I am administrator Wikibooks and indeed SPAM is a problem. But it is not as bad as people belive it to be. Most of the Sourceforge are protected by regex content filter. For example they ban the use of "<a href=" - SPAMers are stupid and they never care to learn the syntax of the wiki. If they did they would know that i.E. PmWiki marks all external links as "nofollow" and linkspamming won't work. Yes SPAM is a problem but a determined comunity can controll it. > I came across this free hosting website called 110mb.com > which has like 2gb of free space with no advertisements and no catches > on hosting, and many people were successful in hosting mediawiki (search > their forums) and other wikis on their space.

Doesn't Vim have a SourceForge page? Because SF is currently beta testing Wikis [1]. Advantage here: We don't need to install anything. We just have to wait for the beta to end.
