Chris: Thanks for correcting me.

Regarding other posts.

Dave, thanks for remind me to check mediawiki plugins

I'll try MoinMoin (http://moinmo.in/MoinMoinFeatures). No database and
ACL, for example. Even if I'm more "fluent" on PHP.

MoinMoin site gave me two interessing links for deciding about a wiki
http://moinmo.in/WikiEngineComparison Every wiki has one :)
http://www.wikimatrix.org/ I made a comparition between MediaWiki and
MoinMoin (http://www.wikimatrix.org/compare/MediaWiki+MoinMoin).
Xander had already mentioned it.

About other alternatives, google, apps and wave, I don't know them
Drupal may be more than the OP needs and are aiming for. Strong project, though

Regards
Luis
