I confess that it didn't really occur to me to look at wikis too. I
asked for comments here more out of interest than anything because it's
my colleague who's really researching this stuff, so he may have
considered them too.

The only potential barriers I see there are whether a wiki will allow us
to easily set-up a number of different templates for different pages of
our site and how well the non-techie staff would cope. Typically they're
all accustomed to using Word so might not take very well to the
additional abstraction of even very simple text markup instead of
WYSIWYG editing. Ideally we'd teach them, since they should be able to
cope, but finding the time to do that would be a task and a half!

I'll broaden my searching to look at wikis though; thanks for the idea.

Cheers,

Richard.
