Just a moment ago, I posted a suggestion for something known as TWiki
(see http://twiki.org). After seeing Darren's comment above about "easy
to set up", I want to add the following:

I am not a systems administrator and have only moderate Linux knowledge.
TWiki took me about 4 hours of fiddling around on my local workstation
and another hour to install on the server. Their instructions are
wonderful (see
http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/TWiki/TWikiInstallationGuide).

I'd say a sysadmin with some experience could install it in less than 2
hours.
