Yeah, it gives me a slightly better idea of what you're after.

I'd recommend either FAQ-O-Matic (which, if properly groomed, is very
nice, but has it's problems) or a simple Wiki.  Check out usemod or Kwiki.

Both are written in perl and are *extremely* lightweight and simple to
configure and set up.  Kwiki is *extremely* extensible.  Both are
easily served from Apache.

There are obviously many other wiki engines which offer varying
degrees of complexity and features.  It sounds like you'd prefer a
KISS solution :)
