Thanks, Damien.  I just need something simple.  Needs to support the 
standard group editing thing, plus the ability to upload images such as 
screen shots as well as attachments like spreadsheets, pdfs and other 
files.  Did a bit more research yesterday.

coWiki: In development, but looks really nice.  Unfortunately no real 
support for running under IIS.

TikiWiki: Very powerful, but as you say, overkill by a factor of about 
100.

DokuWiki: Recommended by some folks in the TikiWiki chat room.  Next on 
the list to be evaluated.

I don't foresee doing much if any modification of the wiki engine.  The 
only additional requirement from an implementation standpoint will be the 
ability to easily modify the look.  Good use of CSS is all I ask.

One thing that would be nice, but I don't expect from a php based open 
source package: The wiki will reside on our Intranet which requires user 
Windows domain login.  In my CF applications on the Intranet I just pull 
cgi.auth_user to get the logged in user name.  It would be nice if we 
could avoid a second login within the wiki that would be used only for the 
purpose of identifying users.
