Yeah, I think mediawiki is the way to go.  I started down that path once but 
not being well versed in Linux I stopped.  We can get that implemented.  
I just hate losing corporate/institutional memory every time a tech decides to 
go to college or go to work for Google/Ebay/Adobe... (we ain’t called Silicon 
Slopes for nuthing)

My objection is not about the cost, which is nominal, but about the principle 
of going down the path of what can become a business-critical function 
offloaded to a third party, where you don't have full access to your own 
database/back-end.

  Confluence is only $10 for 10 users.  That’s my recommendation.

    Full mediawiki, the same software that runs the backend of wikipedia. If 
you are not a competent Linux sysadmin, you are going to want to get one to set 
it up and maintain it. It's vastly more powerful and extensible than a medium 
sized ISP could ever need. I predict we will see people here recommend 
Confluence and other commercial solutions, but in my opinion all proper wiki 
software for serious use should be composed of 100% BSD, GPL and Apache 
licensed software.

      I want it to be in wiki format.  An ongoing knowledge base.  We had one 
at a former company and it was great.  But I was not the one that installed it 
so I don’t know what is involved in that.

        What is the most pain free way to create a wiki?
