I am investigating how to build a site similar to [www.faqfarm.com](http://www.faqfarm.com)  
which is a Q&A wiki. They use mediawiki, which is very popular PHP  
based that wikipedia uses. I suspect they had to highly customize the  
code and that taking a Rails based wiki would be easier to customize,  
although the feature set that these come with might be less. The two  
that I saw saw instiki and hiki, and some other piki type things that  
seemed only small personal type wikis.

Any advice or info would be appreciated.
