[GLLUG] Wiki Software

[Hein, Eric F SSG RES USAR USARC]

Similar thoughts here as I've a rebuilding of a campaign that I am using 
mediawiki to gather ideas for.  Currently, I've myself and only 1 player 
working on it, but it seems to grow fairly natrually with moderation.  
Once we actually get gaming, I am certain we will get at least 1 or two 
more players going with it.  I am thinking 3-4 bodies actively 
maintaining it would be the sweet spot.  wiki.dareeker.org if any care 
to see what is there thus far.
