Moinmoin seems to be one of the favorites in this space, so it's a good 
choice. One thing the latest versions have is visual editing, for people 
who don't want to use Wiki mark-up. Another nice thing is page hierarchy 
support, so that names like ThisTopic/ThisPage are converted to Wiki 
links automatically. Finally, Moinmoin is one of the few to keep pages 
in the file system, which is very good or very bad depending on who you 
ask, but as long as the pages are backed up, should make no different to 
us.  I also believe that Moinmoin has one tiny usability issue: if a 
page edit was started and then abandoned,  it would lock it for 
predefined time period (30 min), which may be very inconvenient. The 
cure is to not forget to hit Cancel button if you don't want to continue 
with editing.
