I have experience setting up MediaWiki for my project's site, and
could do that again if wanted. (I don't have any kind of access to the
linuxchix machines either though.)  Isabelle - I believe the
permissions are all quite customizable, you can make anonymous users
unable to edit pages, or you can use groups to lock certain pages to
only specific people.  I don't have experience with the other wikis at
all though, maybe they are much better. :)
