It gets close to that, yes.  Mike MacIsaac and I have installed and played with 
both MediaWiki, and Confluence.  Confluence has a license charge associated 
with it, unless you fall into one of the categories for which they waive it.

There's no reason why it wouldn't be, assuming the software is coded so that it 
doesn't misbehave in a shared/virtualized environment.  I've got a problem 
record open with the Confluence folks at the moment, because one of the Java 
threads in it was issuing 20ms sleeps, which was keeping it in queue all the 
time (thanks to Rob van der Heij for the analysis).  I don't recall MediaWiki 
doing that, but then we didn't have it installed very long.  It might have been 
and we didn't notice.
