Hi Julian,

I have been working with `OddMuse' in the EmacsWiki[1] as a user and as
an admin/moderator in some installations of my own.  The "UI" of the
wiki is pretty simple, and it does have a very low level of requirements
for becoming a `wiki editor', so it may be a good choice for a Wiki
where non-technical people produce a lot of the content.

OddMuse does have a relatively _unique_ way of treating Wiki content and
may require a bit of Perl hackery to configure captchas, but I like the
fact that it is basically a relatively small `wiki core' that is fairly
trivial to extend by writing Perl modules.

See <http://www.oddmuse.org/cgi-bin/oddmuse> for more details about the
OddMuse wiki engine.

Wikipedia has a list of other Wiki software at

  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wiki_software

that may also be useful.
