Well, oddly, I don't have much of a dissenting opinion.
I personally don't use the OO MW much, but have been using the cwiki a
lot. I find it less quirky than MW to tell you the truth.
I would be much much better to only maintain ONE wiki though regardless
of what it is.
Mostly I use the "Project Planning" area.
So,
+1 on only one wiki, and given the scope of MW over cwiki, I'm happy to
go with MW providing the existing info -- marketing, planning, etc.
gets moved
I would like to add one more thought/request on this topic.
I've actually used Confluence -- the cwiki environment -- more over the
course of my wiki work than MediaWiki, but there are pros and cons to each.
What I REALLY like about our current cwiki setup, is the apparently
automatic navigation generation feature. So, when you add a page under a
category, you can quickly see what other pages are there for that area.
This makes putting ideas "out there" very quick and efficient.
I don't know MW provides in this this regard. But features like this
make using cwki for planning pretty easy since there's no futzing with
filing into categories etc. SO, if there is a way to do this same kind
of thin in MW, we should definitely enable such a feature.

it would be indeed nice to have only one wiki. We have unresolved issues
with the old wiki content (unclear licenses) but MediaWiki as underlying
wiki software offers more features as far as I can see and the editing
is smoother for me. Very useful extensions are used in several places
all over the wiki.
If possible I would prefer to move forward with MediaWiki
