Ikiwiki looks great - the only comment I would make is that (according to the previously mentioned wiki comparison site) it doesn't seem to support localisation. Can anyone confirm this?
Whilst I agree security needs to be a top priority, if we want these boxes to be used widely in countries with oppressive regimes, then I think localisation into many languages, or at least the ability for the user community to do so, should be an important priority also.
