Subject: Re: What is the simplest/easiest 'wiki' to set up?
I give another vote for TiddlyWiki as a easy and powerful wiki. So cool
that it is contained in a single file, data and logic. Easy to move around
and just use on a local computer. Multiple people can use an instance of it
by just putting it on a place all of them can access.

Also look at the Google Sites feature for Google Apps for Your Domain, if
you have that. It is a simple wiki that you don't have to host because
Google is hosting it.

http://www.wikispaces.com/ is also pretty good and has free options.
