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 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.
