  There are a number of wiki that that allow public readonly
access.  For one, there is SnipSnap (http://snipsnap.org).
I've recently began hacking on SnipSnap to freeze some of its
warts off.  I ended up choosing SnipSnap because of its
decent feature set and language (Java; please no Java-ain't-
Open-Source jabs :-)  I just happen to like java, and, well,
it's easy to sell to customers...but back to the story).

  I have a hacked up version of Snip running here
(http://mutt.rcfile.org:8180/snipsnap-dbv/space/start)
if you want to kick it around.  You can log in with
member/member to see it from the RW side.  Be aware that 
I am likely to be hacking this thing to death this weekend,
so if you get errors it's just me working something out.
And don't put anything of value in there--I wipe the
db out fairly frequently...

  My only coplaint thus far with Snip is that development
seemed to be kind of slow.  This is probably due to the
fact that a company "owns" the project and nobody has 
bothered to insist on contributing (and getting some 
community dev. momentum).  Of course, it could be that 
Snip is a horrible piece of software, but I'll know the
state of things soon enough :-P

  BTW, If you (or anyone else) decides to try Snip, please
do get your feedback/wishes to the developers.  Feel free
to funnel those things through me, if you'd like, because
I might already have the problem/feature-request on my
getting-shorter-by-the-day TODO list.  And as soon as the
developers get their new svn repository up, I'll start
submitting my changes.

cheers.
