If I can jump in - I've deployed a couple of instances of MediaWiki as internal programming team tools, and I don't think it's that overbearing as a small solution. One instance is running on a 900 Mhz P3 repurposed desktop, and it's great. If you put it on a reasonably powerful box and don't have a bazillion users, performance shouldn't be an issue at all.
