I have recently been toying with the idea of having (undergraduate) students post reading summaries to a wiki, and the recent discussion on AcaWiki on this list leads me to post it here, though I can appreciate the argument that it is off topic.
So the idea is that students would do their normal reading responses, and then as part of a project work together with students who happened to do responses on the same paper to create an appropriate summary somewhere.
Are you aware of the project Wikiversity? It's just the kind of wiki you seem to be looking for. Plus, you don't have to install and maintain a wiki on your own.

The mission statement of Acawiki states: "AcaWiki enables graduate students and researchers to share summaries of academic papers online"
Now, Joseph, would the students be summarizing higher level academic papers or high-school level material?
If its not summarizing academic papers, then its clear that these contributions are not for AcaWiki.
