well, both ways would require interaction from a person who knows a bit
plone.
the "simple" way requires to add WikiPages to the objects that can be
selected as "default view" (currently they are not; this is why you
cannot add them); it is not a big deal

the "harder" way requires the installation of a "product" (aka
"external") which itself is  totally simple; however on the long run, i
think it is better to keep the number of external dependencies as low as
possible.
