 After testing most of the available options, we decided to use [[https://www.dokuwiki.org/dokuwiki#|Dokuwiki]].  Dokuwiki is simple to edit, maintain and back-up.  It doesn't require a database for installation and can be edited from any modern web browser. Most importantly, dokuwiki can be distributed freely and easily. After testing most of the available options, we decided to use [[https://www.dokuwiki.org/dokuwiki#|Dokuwiki]].  Dokuwiki is simple to edit, maintain and back-up.  It doesn't require a database for installation and can be edited from any modern web browser.
