CLiki 0.4.1 was released 30-Nov-2003: now works with latest version of Araneida and SBCL
An article about CLiki, “CLiki Here”, appeared in Linux User magazine in the summer of 2003.
Cliki was presented at the International Lisp Conference 2002: slides and the paper can be downloaded from here
If you can edit HTML, you can create CLiki pages. Heck, if you can edit text you stand a fair chance. Before you plunging in, read and absorb the CLiki Content and CLiki Style guidelines, and the Text Formatting rules. You may want to play in the CLiki Sandbox to get the hang of it before venturing out on the road.

If you dislike editing text in a stupid textarea window in your web browser, you're not alone. Fortunately, wiki-remote.el now works with CLiki. It is an Emacs extension which first retrieves a page from the CLiki for you, and then, when you're done editing, uploads it to the server.
There are two basic models for Web information repositories: the directory (classic example: Yahoo) and the stew with a search interface (google). Hierarchies are for browsers - people who don't already know what they're looking for, or who need to be convinced that the repository contains any useful information about what they're looking for. Stews are for searchers - people who know what they want and who think we have it.
The world is more of a Whole Sort Of General Mishmash than a hierarchy, however, so we don't keep stuff in a hierarchy, we keep it in a stew: arbitrary hierarchies composed of document searches can be layered on top of it for a given purpose.
So, the content of a document defines where and whether it appears in a given hierarchy. See Text Formatting to find out how to do that.
There is a fallback project for CLIKI on common-lisp.net.

Bug reports should be added to CLiki Bugs. Please don't scatter them around other pages on the site; it's unlikely that they'll get noticed
