 The main (or default) wiki is known as the farm, and the other wikis are the animals. If you're getting a George Orwell feeling at this point, then good, because he was an author and so am I (although perhaps not in the same league). The main (or default) wiki is known as the farm, and the other wikis are the animals.

-My plan at this point is to setup another Raspberry Pi as the host for this farm, with data being stored on a hard disk rather than an SD card. There is a plugin for DokuWiki that makes creating, deleting and configuring animals very simple.

 With the VPN, I can access this from anywhere in the world, and all I need is a web browser. Further, I'd be editing the same version of the files.

 The other major advantage of DokuWiki is that it creates a backup in the form of a reverse-delta file of any page that is edited. That way I can always roll-back any changes or simply review an earlier version of a page and copy the bits I want from it. The other major advantage of DokuWiki is that it creates a backup in the form of a reverse-delta file of any page that is edited.
