I am all for a wiki. A lot of Ubuntu's information and planning is done 
on a wiki, so I have no problems in using one.

It looks like the same wiki software that Canonical use, but I am not 
certain about that. As it is, it looks fine to me. I would be happy in 
helping set out a wiki page structure etc, when Willie gives the 
go-ahead for its use. I know a little moinMoin formatting I think, so 
things shouldn't be too difficult.

As previously stated, go for it! :)
