Indeed it is :)

Actually, the wiki we use is ZWiki (http://zwiki.org/) which is written 
to specifically support Plone if ZWiki objects are created within a 
Plone website.

We chose to use a Wiki because of its highly collaborative nature. 
Links within a wiki are easy to write, so it's easy to create a 
hyperlinked set of documents quite rapidly, and allow others to create 
and edit within the same workspace.  Complex workflow scenarios probably 
aren't a good match for what the Schevo wiki was created for :)

You can, if you like.  As a member of schevo.org, click on the "my 
folder" icon on the top right of the page.  You will then see a folder 
for your user that you have complete control over and can create and 
publish documents to your hearts content.  Feel free to post URLs to the 
list and turn on the comment feature of documents that you write.
