Yes, we can create anything from it, but again it needs some hacks, added effort and getting off the straight road. So, I would not choose a Wiki platform for a full-fledged site with a part as wiki. But again I would say (as I earlier stated), this should not be a good time to decide over the platform. We should plan something before start digging in. Ubuntu-In should not be just a wiki. It should be a Custom site, a forum, a wiki, a CMS and more. What I think about Ubuntu-India, not a site about Ubuntu, but a site more geared towards the Ubuntu and its usage/development/helps/articles/presentations/news around users in India. You can also put it in some professional attire, so that people/businesses in India can take Ubuntu seriously. Why we should go for professional look and content: Lets realise it. Everyone moved from simple to little more professional, and usable, more informative and content rich. Like Fedora, SuSE, Ubuntu official etc. So, I will suggest a base framework, with some initial features/apps developed on it. Then, gradually we can add more and more apps to it. Later, it will grow with apps, contents and media. We can all put our effort, don't we? Everyone can contribute, no matter how and what they contribute. We can have multi languages for tutorials and articles. Look at Ubuntu France, its totally in french. Why not our loco site in indian language other than official english.French site has their own Planet, Documentation and forum. Again, look at Ubuntu Spain. They too got documentation, forum, blogs etc. There are so many people in India involved-or-using Ubuntu than most other countries. Many of them will volunteer forward to create some difference. Am I wrong? Where else can we get such large community and team. How many people here thinks the same? Please reply, support my view.
