Install your own Wiki
Even if you work on Windows it is very easy to install your own local Wiki. This is great fun for anyone wanting to learn PHP, MySQL, and Apache.
Its also great for off-line editing.
You need two files (~10 Mb download); EasyPhp, and MediaWiki. Follow the instructions on Running MediaWiki on Windows and you should be up and running within minutes.
