Sometimes, the simplest wikis are the most fun to set up :) TwikiWiki, for instance, is the Emacs of the wiki world, and (IMO) just as cumbersome (I'm a vi guy, so I can say things like that).

It would seem to me that any wiki that's set up should be done so in the same spirit as gopher itself: Not a lot of bells and whistles, but easy to use and administer.

My recommendations lean more towards pmwiki and WackoWiki in terms of a simplistic interface.

Just my 0.02 worth...I'll be happy with any wiki!
