Wikis for end-users

["A.H." <isaac840 -at- yahoo -dot- com>]

Hello, all,

  We're brainstorming ways for users to document
modules on a site that is yet to be built (something
similar to SourceForge.net). 

  We thought of creating a wiki where users can post
their comments, ideas, etc. 

  Has anyone ever done this? If so, has it been
successful? easy to maintain? 

  The users will most likely be beginners. Is a wiki
to much for a beginner to absorb?

  We want to build a community, and we think it's a
pretty good idea to have a place where users can chat,
search, and improve the product (an open-source
contact-management database).

Thanks,
