[CentOS] CentOS-friendly wiki engine ?

I also would recommend MediaWiki for these reasons.

The only drawback is the lack of a fine grained authorization
mechanism: you cannot give write access to some pages and not others,
or if you try there are flaws to be aware of (cf. [1])

What I tend to do for "sensitive" data is to create one MediaWiki
database per private project (reusing the same MediaWiki code, see
[2]).

But if you want to have only one set of authorized users, all with
write access, MediaWiki is a very good choice.
