Much of what has been discussed can be done in MediaWiki, using various extensions. Quoting The List: > 0. A flat, management free interface I'm not really sure what this means. Everything will require at least some management, (short of anarchy <grin>). They best you can hope for is something easy/simple to manage, but does everything you want. That said, MediaWiki has some management and access controls. I admit that it's a bit of a hassle to manage though. > 1.

More detailed organization can be done via other features (namespaces, page organiazation), or other extensions. Several researchers I work with make heavy use of the Semantic Wiki extension to MediaWiki to self-organize the pages to good effect. > 4.
