Wiki is basically a system that allows people to (usually login) and
edit content of a webpage and dynamically create pages using WIKI
specific syntax. Also allows for going back revisions (like cvs
somewhat) and is fairly easy to learn how to use.

WhatIsWiki : http://wiki.org/wiki.cgi?WhatIsWiki

Largest wiki that I know of: http://en.wikipedia.org/

This would allow multiple people to manage content of pages without
needing to get server access to update html pages. (and is easy to
deploy and 'theme')
