One or two of the smaller wikis will let you use sqlite or flat files which mean you don't need a daemon running. You pay in scalability but that probably doesn't matter for a small site. Ww is probably the most extreme example of a miniature wiki for resources (actually Ww is so small you can probably hack anything random into it in a day) Some of the content managers also use wiki editing/formatting combined with an actual index and taxonomy so that content is more forcibly organised. Mambo is sort of in this category but I find a bit heavyweight - good demo at http://www.mamboserver.com though so you can play to your hearts content. http://www.oscom.org/matrix/index.html is a huge list of Open CMS systems.
