Hi Nathan,
given the huge user base of MediaWiki, you would need very good
reasons (read: special requirements) to choose anything else. Also,
the large developer community makes Mediawiki a more future-proof
choice than anything commercial backed by a single company.

That's what I'm worried about with MediaWiki. The syntax used when creating
and editing pages isn't intuitive and I'm afraid people won't want to use
it. I was hoping someone would recommend a wiki with more of a WYSIWYG type

We use PMWiki (http://pmwiki.org/) as our wiki. It's php based,
stable, open source, has a large community of developers, and it's
easy to configure and work with. It also has a fairly easy to learn
editor. Not quite WYSIWG, but doable.

As an administrator of a Confluence installation, I have to say that I hate

Confluence is fine if you are not going to be touching it or doing any kind

This was the other thing we liked about Apple's Wiki Server -- if you

I worked at one institution where we used Confluence. I liked it as a user, but
from an admin side it seemed to take a lot of work. You could really do
fine-grained user management and permissions, but it seemed overkill. What we
did like, however, was the Jira issue tracking system.
