I actually quite like the idea, but am not sure how to make it work. I
don't want to create another login for people. However, I think if
someone was able to provide the e-mail address of a member, that would
be enough for me to allow them to post (though not to cite them as the
owner of that address, obviously ;), although a lot of members have
affs-specific e-mail addresses, so I'm not sure if that's quite as easy
as I assume it ought to be.
The idea of a wiki is that it's pretty accessible; if we start requiring
a login, we may as well consider all sorts of other CMSs too, tbh.

Yeah. And, I would definitely see that as a worthwhile investment - the
website is a public face of AFFS, and I wouldn't want to see it defaced,
especially with spammers tending to offer cheap proprietary software
products these days ;)

http://wiki.splitbrain.org/wiki:acl - seems good enough; plenty of scope
for some configuration I think.

Yeah, it's debian, but still potato I think (though we're moving to
sarge when me & Adam have the time ;). 
But yeah, it would almost certainly have to be in the archive for us to
use it (though, we're happy to pin to packages I think).
Hm. It's probably still between Doku and Zwiki for me, I think.
Cheers,
Alex.
