I'm trying to decide whether the solution to this section of my website would be a wiki:

my website, FlyFishTalk, has a section named Fly Patterns. If you click on the top menu tab you'll be there. The page is actually set up with a wrapper script. Basically, it just opens up any url in that frame(may not be an actual frame) and all the links to all the flies (not yet active except for griffith's gnat) just open up a different url within the same frame. That works, sort of.

But what I want is an actual community-created website. More specifically in this regard, I want users to be able to input/upload their own patterns and for other users to be able to add additional info to each pattern, much like this:

1. Jane Doe clicks on "Submit a Fly Pattern" and gets to some page where she inputs the text and either links to or uploads an image (and I need to limit filesize and dimensions). Ideally, each fly pattern would have a similar "look" in terms of page color, font color, image size, placement of page elements.

2. The fly pattern is now visible by all and users will know this because the name of the fly has now automagically been added to a list of flies (which would be very nice to have sorted by type). And maybe this is a notice on the frontpage that tells viewers when fly patterns are added/altered.

3. John Smith then gets to click on "Add to this Fly Pattern Info" and enter his text and/or image and say something like: don't forget to use the XXXX brand hook on this one."

4. It needs to be integrated into Joomla and work with Joomla's component, Community Builder. There are two wikis that might do this OpenWiki and MamboWiki.


But is this something that sounds wiki-ish to you?
