DokuWiki
DokuWiki is a standards-compliant, simple-to-use Wiki mainly aimed at creating documentation of any kind. It is targeted at developer teams, workgroups, and small companies. It has a simple but powerful syntax which makes sure the datafiles remain readable outside the Wiki, and eases the creation of structured texts. All data is stored in plain text files, so no database is needed

Andreas reacted quickly after I posted a problem with the xfortune plugin. He rewrote the plugin to make it more stable. I am using Dokuwiki since 2006 and love it ever since. Excellent job Andreas!

Excellent product
Been using for months now with no problems. Good performance, clean layout, and nice plugin library.
Better than all expectations
Dokuwiki is the best kept secret on the web!
A WIKI that:
* Is elegant
* Doesn't encourage cryptic chaos
* Can LOOK like a NORMAL (non-wiki) site, while having all the benefits of a wiki
* Excellent flexible access control
* Amazing plugin hooks
* Perfectly beautiful NORMAL urls (if desired)
* Well cached and fast
The more I use this, the more I love it.

Yeah, Blog:CMS sucks donkey, it's a shame of open source.
Anyway, I also considered MediaWiki when I was looking for a wiki, but it's PHP memory requirements were over the roof for setting on my webhosting. DokuWiki is very portable since it doesn't use a database, so in worst case scenario you can use some diff tool to sync files (e.g. when you have one installation on localhost for offline work and the other online).
Nice where I've used it but a shame...
However the first time I came accross this it was a badly broken out of date copy that had been shoved into Blog:CMS thus rather putting me off for long enough to be a MediaWiki user now.
However the NucleusCMS team use it and I have to say it is nice and simple to use. Good simple markup.
