A Wiki is always useful (my credo as a project manager: "here's a Wiki and a
mailing list - use it for 6 months, if you still want more after that, yell").

However, wouldn't it be an idea to use AFS for this? I'd say that most people
here have AFS installed, so you could just put a designated part of the
website in AFS, with public (wiki-like) parts, and maybe some parts that have
ACL's for certain project teams, and 'canonical official' parts that are just
writable by OpenAFS folk. Eat your own dogfood...
