Hi everybody,

there have been thoughts to convert to our own software wiki. I just came 
across the one that was written for wikipedia - and is freely available:

http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki

However, I don't know if we have the necessary environment to run this on a 
server somewhere. Here's what the requirements are for installing it 
somewhere:

    * Web Server such as Apache or IIS
    * PHP version 5.0 or later (5.1.x recommended)
    * Database Server
          o MySQL 4.0 or later

          or

          o PostgreSQL 8.1 or later (also requires plpgsql and tsearch2)

Some users find it helpful to install an additional software package such 
as phpMyAdmin (MySQL) or phpPgAdmin (Postgres) to help administer the 
database server.

Does anyone think that this type of environment (see e.g. the above link) 
is much more stimulating for your own contributions to our ZeroCarbon wiki 
than our present realization on CAMTools?

Thanks for giving it a thought!

Gunnar
