I have had success with using PmWiki. I have set up three or four sites with it. One was for a group of non technical people. I received zero complaints about difficulty using it. It can be set up with different levels of security. There are add-on modules for increased capability though I have

I've found that the hardest part of using a wiki for most people is the wiki markup. I tried to implement a wiki at work but nobody understood how to use it so nobody used it. I looked into changing over to a wiki with WYSIWYG input (specifically Wikka Wiki), but the idea was eventually (and
