You are far from the only ones. There are many wikis using MediaWiki
to distribute information about a specialized topic. Several I happen
to help out in:
*Gmail Wiki (http://www.gmailwiki.com/)
*FIRSTwiki (http://www.firstwiki.org/)
*FURCwiki (http://furc.zapto.org/wiki/) (I happen to run this one)

If you need help with a particular feature, first check the User's
Guide (at http://meta.wikimedia.org/), then ask at either the IRC
channel (irc://freenode.net/#mediawiki) or this mailing list.

After set up, MediaWiki (the Wikipedia engine) is virtually
maintainence free. MediaWiki is a generic wiki engine. See

You're not the only ones. I would help, actually, but I've got a bunch
of other stuff to work on.

InterWiki links. [[Wikipedia:InterWiki]]. They're how seperate and
specialized wikis connect to each other.
