brotherS:
I vote for MediaWiki :Thmbsup:
If mouser could manage to set it up would be great... working with it it very easy and many know how to do it already.
mouser:
i'malways game to set up something for the site -
i'm just not sure what we would use it for!!
maybe a "tips+tricks" wiki for each program on the site?

Exactly :) Read my first post above? ;)
A good wiki would be perfect to let (registered) users add their "how to do this" screenshots and explanations.
Carol Haynes:
For fear of repeating myself - a wiki could be used for ...
FAQs
Documentation project for site apps (including coding snacks etc.)
Tips and Tricks
Quick find links for software types/functions/categories etc.
My only worry would be the amount of maintenance necessary and the potential for abuse?
How do WikiPedia cope with these issues?

Well, I'm an administrator in two not-that-small MediaWiki-based wikis myself and because of spam-bots and annoying kids we just switched to "only users with an account may edit the wiki". We administrators can quickly setup new accounts (using IRC to let people ask for an account) and it works like a charm!
