mediawiki

I'm going to say this as a tech-savvy wiki newbie. This is a pain in the butt! So, I've finally got a wiki added to my site. I'm using MediaWiki as my wiki engine, and I've played with this software a few times YEARS ago. Well, now I've got a serious project that I want to begin working on...

I recently started a wiki project pertaining to the National Forest and state parks in my region. I'm excited about it but I'm guessing that I'll be the only one editing it for a while at least. How about you all? Have any of you ever started your own wiki before?
