We use PMWiki (http://pmwiki.org/) as our wiki. It's php based, stable, open source, has a large community of developers, and it's easy to configure and work with. It also has a fairly easy to learn editor. Not quite WYSIWG, but doable. You can also set up a variety of skins for different portions of the wiki. I've been able to implement new features fairly quickly and easily.
