How do you do in-company documentation (enterprise wiki)?

#1
I'm looking for some open source wiki software to do internal documentation for software, hardware, procedures, etc.

A google search for "open source enterprise wiki" returns Twiki and Socialtext. I also stumbled upon TeamPage. I poked around with Socialtext and I like that is a hosted solution (less admin and maintenance for us). Has anyone used any of these offerings or does anyone have any other suggestions?

We've implemented plain old MediaWiki in our division. It serves as a document and guidance distribution point to the wider corporate public, as well as an scratch pad for internal procedures and process. Due to the general lack of fine-grained access control and segmentation, we stood up two instances: one for the "public" site without authentication for read-only access (and mediawiki accounts for division members only to edit content) and another one for the "private" site with HTTP authentication for the wiki root.
