For a known standard form of markup, I suggest looking at YAML, which is
stable and has libraries implemented in a number of languages.
See HTTP://YAML.ORG
I think it is very important to make the barrier to authors as low as
possible and YAML strikes me as meeting this requirement.

So any suggestions for markup?
I've been playing around with this in my head and thought that maybe something like
this could work..
- Any line starting with three pipe symbols is a "command"
For example:
|||ENTRY_START
|||ENTRY_END
We can use these to have multiple documents
in one file
|||TITLE|HILANT:: VAXcluster Title of the entry
|||DATE|1-JAN-2015 Date of document
|||VERSION|1.01 Version of document
|||AUTHOR|Sampsa Laine
|||AUTHOR_MAIL11|HILANT::SAMPSA
|||AUTHER_SMTP|sampsa at mac.com
|||H|1|This is a heading Heading level, 1, Name
|||SECT_START Start of text section
|||SECT_END End of section
Analogous to<p>...</p> in HTML
|||HTTP_LINK|http://www..|Link description
(like<a href="http://..">Decription</a> in HTML)
|||FAL_LINK|CHIMPY::[INFO]FOO.TXT|Link description
Same as HTTP link but with a reference to an object
on HECnet - not sure how to use this right now, maybe
produce some kind of menu to interesting documents on
HECnet
|||CTERM|HILANT|Description
Again, not sure exactly how to use this but could be used
to generate a menu like LAUNCH on CHIMPY

Another side benefit of the Wiki of course is
that we can put a bunch of other "HOWTO"-type material, history of the network,
people can have their own entries (i.e. who is this HILANT::SAMPSA guy)..
My hosting provider provides it for free with a one click install and does automatic
updates whenever a new version is released etc..
Of course if someone else wants to host it they're welcome to do so, just saying that
I have this facility.
PS: MediaWiki needs a logo and I'm having a graphic designer buddy work of an ASCII
logo of the word HECnet in about a 70x15 character size to be displayed on text terminals
- if everybody agrees, we can turn that into a PNG etc and use it for various things such
as the Wiki.
