You are right, "big and huge" wikis like mediawiki(for huge 
encyclopedias) and twiki(big enterpise) are not easy to administate for 
little projects like this one

Pmwiki seems indeed the best choice.  They say it was specifically 
designed to support web development!

It seems to be well writen, dosent nead a database and has its own 
verssion control system,   uses php as the forum (so we don't nead 
support for perl any more...),   has all the feautures you will find in 
other  wikis (maybe excepting some of mediawiki and twiki, but we won't 
miss them).  , feauteres like internationalisation, skins, user acces 
control (if we will ever nead that :) ) and.... user defined shortcuts, RSS

As a plus, it seems version2 was rewriten (if i am not wrong).  Upgrades 
are easy.

Finaly,  the ability to handle all kinds of proposals like  feautue 
requests.
They have:
   Suspended issues
   Active issues
   Closed issues

 I'd say they copied on globulation 2 wiki...

(How did you found this one from that huge list of wikis??)


PS:  i want to help with the migration, if this means copy paste of all 
pages that's ok, if there are diferences in the syntax, some simple perl 
scripts will do the work.

Note that this will erase all the history!  Maybe there is a cleaner way 
to make the switch...
