I would like to throw in a question for discussion: What is the

minimum set of features for something to be a wiki?

I added this to my Django flatpage* based site:

{% if user.is_staff %}

Which lets my client click around his web site, and if he sees

something he wants to change, click the edit link, make change, hit

save, refresh page, see change.

But there are no automatic links from camel case, to create a new page

you have to hit the "new page" link in the Django admin, etc. So is

it a wiki? Whatever it is, it made my client very happy.
