Hi Doug, Thanks for the recommendation -- I did take a brief glance at TikiWiki, but my original impression was that it was too CMS-heavy for my needs. Given your recommendation, though, I'll take another look at it, and will probably download it and play around with it on my local machine. If anyone else has any other recommendations, I'm still very open to suggestions!
