I totally agree with what was said above about Confluence: Confluence is a great option for a Wiki.

And it does support different media types.
Whether you actually need a Wiki is a different questions:)
having been on both sides of the interviewing process, some of the statements here seriously scare me:
What is this discussion about? Support on how to conduct interviews and hire appropriate people? fair enough, bring it on.
But hey, does no-one find some of those thoughts at least a little bit strange?
"Although I'm very much focused on choosing the right person for the role regardless of age, experience or whatever..." what is this supposed to mean?
Of course experience is a major factor. Amongst others. And most likely there is a correlation of some kind between age and maturity and experience. Generally speaking. But lets not focus on age. Focus on experience. But that, of course is far harder to detect.
"probably fair to say the more mature applicants will get a more sympathetic hearing from me than they might from most other interviewers"
Why should they? That is as saying I give women, Chinese, disabled a more sympathetic hearing. Why? Just treat them all equally.
"I ask older applicants to get them to demonstrate the value of their experience?" Why would they have to prove that they are more valuable than younger ones? I dont get it.
"What should I be asking of the more experienced applicants, and what responses should I be looking out for?" Ok, this is the only valid question in the entire paragraph. And even this - by the way it is asked - seems to suggest you have no idea what you are talking about.
Why this makes me scared is that clearly people who have no idea about recruitment and judging someones fit for a role - in an interview process - are tasked with the role. Can we please educate those people better? For the sake of potential employees and companies.
Sorry if I am being hard here, have just seen too many such situations go wrong to mutual disadvantage.
