someone already made that point and it would be a waste of time
doing a wiki for "a couple of infrequent changing pages". I doubt
it's what Lan ment. I'll restate that MY guess at what Lan was 
suggesting: 6-10 authors of more than "a couple of infrequent 
changing pages".

IMO, wiki's are not generally easy for consumers to use. And without alot
of work, the only way to make them somewhat easy for the general public
is to have a really good search engine on the frontend. Because of that ----
wait for it ----- the general public will not find browsing a wiki looking for
the articles easy or productive.

but if there is no real attraction to the site of the information/articles,
then putting them on a wiki and making sure the well known search engines
can crawl them might be enough. ie, use Google/etc as the way to find the
articles instead of having an easy to use "site" containing the articles.
