Is a WiKi right for the job?

Egads, I've been drafted!

This coming weekend my family is having a major family reunion, and I've been asked to put up a web site for the family that can be announced at the reunion.

I've heard a lot about Wiki's, and I'm thinking that with the right Wiki I can let my relatives build the content of this site without needing a lot of help from me. Like most families, there are a lot of family members who aren't the most computer savvy.

The basic requirements are that I would like to use my own domain name, it should have a though-the-browser HTML editor, I would like it to be able to accept uploaded images, it should have a customizable template, and it has to be easy to use.

Am I barking up the wrong tree here? I'm a Windows-anything programmer, and I haven't seen any Wiki software for an MS platform, so I figure I'll have to pay for shared hosting somewhere.

Anyone familiar with Wiki's, please let me know if what I'm looking for sounds reasonable.

Thanks!

The opensourceCMS site has about 9 Wikis you can play with. The best list I've seen is the canonical list of Wiki Engines [c2.com] that lists them by language.

I used UseModWiki for many years. It's simple and easy to use once you get around the syntax. Recently I've been playing around with DokuWiki and like what I see so far.
