 Any thoughts? Anyone know IT experts?

As part of our consultation for the new Cliamte Bill, we might need a
wiki www.zcarb.net/wiki to conduct our discussions. We will need this
to be as user friendly as possible. Our main website will be based in
Wordpress new.zcarb.net , and so the question arises how to integrate
the wiki into a common register/login system.

It's difficult (but not impossible) to acheive the full 'wiki' effect
in wordpress. People can jointly edit a document in wordpress if they
are all editors, but there isn't the full trackback capability as seen
in mediawiki.

We have the following options if we are to retain wiki functionality:

A) Find a way to create a wiki experience within WordPress

B) Find a way o integrating loging in to the wordpress site, with
simultaneously logging in to our wiki? Both require an id and
password, so presumably there might be a way. But I've no idea how
these things work.

C) Ask people to register and login seperately

D) Abandon Wiki despite its better wiki functionality vis-a-vis wordpress.

Anyone know any IT experts? Otherwise C would be the easiest option despite
everyone havign to login twice.
