thanks for the link. MediaWiki is really nice. If you & other developers want we can 
migrate to that wiki.

I see that it can be installed using a single database and thus it would work on 
SourceForge servers (where they give 1 database per project).

However, I think that Sourceforge advice is not so good after all ;-)
they say to use mysql where possible but SF's mysql is quite slow and it is already used 
by the main website for all components and thus using it also for the wiki would probably 
give a lot of performance problems...

Thanks for any opinion/suggestion,
Francesco
