Maybe this works out (usually writing the contents is
the most time-consuming bit anyway ;-).

For the conversion there might be tools
  http://deplate.sourceforge.net/index.php
or wt2db
  http://www.tldp.org/downloads/

(I have never used any of these, and have no experience with docbook ;-)

Best Arnd

But that would require knowledge in html, right?
(Personally I find writing html rather time consuming
while wiki text, e.g. like restructured text etc., very
closely matches with my normal .txt file notes)

Spam can be a problem, I agree.

Unfortunately, that's the only way to avoid spam, I think.

Fair enough, I do understand your concerns.

Fabien suggested to use
http://wiki.kde.org/tiki-index.php?page=Digikam
at the moment.
This page is editable for me (I just corrected a typo ;-).
However, I did not see a way to add new pages.

Best, Arnd

Not really drupal/joomla are very user friendly...

Well adding a new page should be easier than you believe
just add a new link such as http://wiki.kde.org/foo
and choose to create it ;)

You can do it anonymously, but it's easier when you are logged as you
don't have to enter the anti-spam numbers.
I just added 2 pages to see.
