We are very happy with Confluence at UCLA. It supports the wiki
metaphor of a pool of labeled/tagged documents with a hierarchical
directory-like structure, so you don't have to choose between the two
models. Although I usually edit pages in the wiki markup view, many of
our users prefer the very friendly gui.
Academic pricing is 50% of the regular license for a local version. If
you want to avoid the effort of administering your own server, you can
sign up for Altassian's hosted service called On-Demand, although I'm
not sure if the discount applies.

The wiki software with the largest user base is undoubtedly media wiki (i.e.

We're moving to it as a platform precisely because to leverage the skills that

We're not far enough into our roll out to tell whether it's going to be a
success

There are a plethora of options for wiki software. Does anyone have any
recommendations for a platform that's easy-to-use and has a low-learning
curve for users? I'm thinking of starting a wiki for internal best
practices, etc. and wondered what people who've done the same had success
with.
Thanks,
Nathan
