I am teaching a high school class in computers and our most recent project was
creating a site in WordPress and in PMWiki. At the end my students were not
overly enamored with the setup and configuration of pmwiki and wanted to know
why they would ever use that over WordPress.
I gave several thoughts but then I promised to write to the list to get
further input.
If you were "selling" pmwiki to a group of high school students with limited
technical experience but good potential, what would you say are its top
advantages as compared with WP?
I have a pmwiki for technical doc, mostly short docs, no blabla, and wordpress
for discussions and comments

it's much easier to find something in pmwiki because you have to organise
yourself and it's easy to make cascading pages.
Wordpress is more linear, the ols docs may be difficult to find. May be you
notice when searching google that you get( a page where you dion't have
anymore the wanted article. Never such thing in pmwiki.
the best of wordpress i to have a summary link with the first sentences of the
text and a link (tag "more") for the rest.
of course you can have similar things on the two systems, there are blog-types
pmwiki and you can build table pages in wordpress
my web site main page with wordpress:
http://dodin.info/wordpress/
and with pmwiki:
http://dodin.info/wiki/index.php?n=Main.HomePage
wordpress like summaries on an other pmlwiki I manage:
http://asso.culte.org/pmwiki/?n=Rubriques.LesProjets
with lines like:
