Are you sure you're not confusing RT/FM with RT?  The page I pointed you
at is an instance of RT/FM; what it happens to contain is the manual for
RT.  The two systems have a very similar look, but RT/FM is _not_ RT.

Modperl is certainly available -- RT uses it -- but my investigation
suggests that, if a wiki is what people want, TWiki might be a better
choice.  For one thing, I feel uncomfortable with locking ourselves into
something that doesn't support authentication and a moderately fine
grained access control model.
