I like the wiki idea :-) Clean and simple and most people know how it
works by now. Whereas Bugzilla is fantastic once you have it worked
out. Newcomers shy away from Bugzilla, I know I did to start
with...but that about 8 years ago which was actually about 3 years
after my first introduction to Linux :-)
The one thing with a wiki though is to make sure the security is
sorted from the word go.
