At FOSDEM '07 I saw the Gentoo folks had a very nice web based PHP like 
solution. Only I forgot its name by now, and I wonder if they still use it. 
Because the two guys I asked about it have resigned from the Gentoo project 
by now.

But I think a (custom?) webbased PHP system would be better than a wiki at 
all. Perhaps a nice job to accomplish by me when I have far more spare time 
than I have now.

Kind regards,
