My own clWiki has a blog interface for it. I use it here: 
http://www.clabs.org/blog. That said, to my knowledge it's not used much 
anywhere else, so there might be lurking evil for someone else trying to 
use it. For searching, it requires a DRb index process to be run 
(technically it doesn't, but the non-DRb is broken right now).

You can leave the wiki freely editable, or configure it to have the 
editor be secured, so only certain people can edit.

As Wikis go, it's also bizarre, missing some very common features and 
including some that most popular ones don't have.

So ... to sum up, it works for me, it might even work for you. :-)
