Ive never set one up, but the way I understand it..there is an overall manager of the Wiki...and he/she decides who has access to add data...(anybody can view it though)..
Obviously, you don't want inaccurate info to be posted, so before it actually gets entered, you'll want somebody that really knows their stuff...to clear what gets on and what don't.
This is from the software writers website explaining the basics..(hope I don't get busted here for posting advertisements...that is not the intention
MediaWiki is a
free software wiki package originally written for
Wikipedia. It is now used by several other projects of the non-profit
