Wikis consumes lot of CPU, and harddisk potentially. Considering the
Savannah load average, I'm not sure it would be wise.

Instead, there's is a FAQ tool, not usable for projects and it's stand
on Savannah but people at Cern enhanced it and we'll include their
modifications.

In fact, it would require also modifications on the Savannah php
frontend. But it not a problem.

An estimation about CPU usage?
