Around a year ago I spent 4-5 months evaluating wikis with the goal of
migrating from FrameMaker. Confluence 4 and MindTouch were by far the
most practical, since they're based on XHTML rather than wiki markup.

One big challenge was converting thousands of pages of legacy docs. I
got MIF2Go working on a page-by-page basis for both. I got stuck
because I couldn't find a documented bulk import utility that worked.

Confluence has a very active user community and great support, but I
(and others) reached a dead end as far as bulk conversion from
FrameMaker:

WebWorks ePublisher can convert from FrameMaker to Confluence, but
that's wiki markup and obsolete. If they ever update that to the new
XHTML format that could solve the problem.

If you're on a tight budget, forget about MindTouch, you get a choice
between a hosted solution (MindTouch TCS) that's fairly expensive and
a free version (MindTouch Core) that doesn't have enough support.
