Huh.  Guess I'm too old for this group, if HTML, CVS, and maybe some PHP are "too hard".  We 
probably want some Web 2.0 features too, don't we?  (Just kidding, I don't really care.  Seems odd 
that a technical group would care either.)

I think there are wikis that allow some pages to be locked while others are open.  So we could 
control the parts where we do our branding and allow others to be open for collaboration.

MediaWiki has been mentioned.  I use it at work and don't really like it (but I don't know much 
about their plug-ins so maybe it's better than I think--if there's a sane way to manage the plug-in 
life cycle).

But I heard recently that a Navy organization that's big on MediaWiki is switching to Confluence. 
Oh, never mind--proprietary Share Point thing.  Pity, I thought they were brighter than that.  Don't 
ever say government and innovation in the same sentence. ;-)
