Thanks Alexander,

I use Wordpress for a bunch of different web sites of my own well as setting up sites for my clients. So I would consider myself a Wordpress power user - I also teach others how to use it.

I agree with you that Wordpress has really come into its own as a CMS. It might make sense to stick with what I know.

I did spend some time playing with Dokuwiki and it worked well. I think it could work but things like nested navigation and membership controls might be easier to manage in Wordpress as I already have solutions there. I will try setting up a stand-alone Wordpress site next and see how it looks.
