Just installed Mediawiki via Suse.  With a skin from
http://paulgu.com/wiki/Home and an old photo of mine, it looks pretty good
- https://acooke.dyndns.org:4443/mediawiki

I don't normally like wikis - in my experience they are suggested as
technical solutions for social problems (introducing a wiki doesn't
magically make your engineers doucument their work...) - but I think it
might be a good way to organise private knowledge (my memory has always
been useless and I find myself repeating Google searches etc to solve
stupid technical issues).

The reason I'm doing this now is I have a new job and I've been having
something of a retrospective on what I did well or badly in the last one. 
More on that later.

Anyway, it turns out Mediawiki, despite being a monster, is pretty easy to
install (via Suse) and configure.  And the skin makes it look nice.  I did
try luminotes - https://luminotes.com/ - which is very elegant, but there
was no pre-built package and I couldn't easily install it using the
available versions of various tools (they provide hosting themselves, but,
well, you know how it is...)
