[cdwg] New Wiki for OpenSFS

[Christopher J. Morrone]

Ok.  I too would be in favor of a switch to MediaWiki.  We had it set up 
before, and in fact wiki.opensfs.org still goes to an un-configured 
MediaWiki instance.

I am inclined to pursue getting the MediaWiki instance upgraded and 
configured the way we want.

The only complaint that I am aware of for MediaWiki is that folks were 
unable to upload files.  But of course MediaWiki DOES support that, it 
is just (according to the FAQ) disabled by default.  So I'll look into 
where it is hosted, what controls we have, who current has the 
passwords, etc.

If anyone has any other requirements or suggestions for a better wiki 
engine, please speak up promptly.
