IMO, a wiki/twiki is a bad idea.  They just get very confusing after a
short time.  For a good example, see http://consume.net.  Can you 
understand WTF they're trying to achieve?  I can't, and I'm with
them!  
Now look at my site (see sig), and see if you understand it.  I think
that 
says everything.
