Where I work we use a wiki for our knowledge base and internal 
documentation.

My personal favs are MoinMoin, MediaWiki and Wikka

MoinMoin
http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/
(In use by the Apache Foundation here http://wiki.apache.org/general/)

Media Wiki
http://wikipedia.sourceforge.net/
(used for wikipedia http://www.wikipedia.org/)

Then there is the less known Wikka which is a Wakka spin off.... But I 
like using it for some reason.
