I don't know yet.  Ideally I want something I can customize to look like
other pages on the site, and will work on the site.  A quick look for wiki
on the lug.org.uk show that Aberdeen are using tiki (which I think is the
same one Nik Butler is using).  Other sites using wikis are East London,
Glucs, Leicester, North Hants, Scarborough, South Derby & Surry.  If 
everyone will check these out and reports backs any preferences and
thoughts.
