That wiki was not available from my web host. I agree that there are
probably easier wikis to use than MediaWiki. On the other hand, it has
power, reliability, popularity, and documentation on its side. Anyone
who learns how to use it is in a good position to use many wikis out
there, e.g., contributing to WikiPedia -- one of the top sites on the net.
