I'm using Hiki[http://hikiwiki.org/en/]. It stores data in plain text files,
is very featureful (lots of plugins) and can be extended trivially (I
modified/created several plugins for eigenclass.org: math rendering with
troff, syntax highlighting for Ruby, blog-like node aggregation, enhanced RSS
plugin, etc.).
