What wiki are you going to be using?  Or are you going to roll your own?  If
not it might be worth a look at http://en.wikipedia.org they have a link for
the GPL software they use.

A word of caution with open wiki's.  You need to deal with search engines
"spiders" and they'll follow all the links on a page including the delete
option, and it could erase the whole wiki if it's not setup properly.
