Yes. In fact, it's a matter of removing the password to the existing wiki.
I was also toying with the idea of installing WikiMedia instead of MoinMoin.
We are also working on our own blog+wiki-in-RDF thing called Linotype
but it's not even close to be ready for production use.
Mostly the reason why we didn't have a wiki open was because we were the
only one writing it and we also didn't have much to say :-) and opening
it to the public would increase the chance of having it spammed.

I totally agree.

nono, hosting is not the problem, it's actually already there
http://simile.mit.edu/wiki/
and it contains already a good amount of background even if most of this
stuff is now probably obsolete, or even just private to the project
(like meeting schedules and stuff like that).
I'll play around with wikimedia when I have a little time and see how
that works.
Ryan, suggestions?
