Something like DokuWiki would be pretty easy to set up there, I imagine.

That's fair enough :)

If it's possible to control DNS entries, there's nothing to say that a 
wiki would have to be hosted on the lug.org.uk servers; we could easily 
set up, say, wiki.herts.lug.org.uk to resolve to another server where we 
could host it.

BTW, sorry I didn't make it last night; in a fit of stupidity, I'd 
booked a squash court for last night without really thinking about it. 
I think I need to start using my calendar (or just my brain) more often :)
