Thanks to all who replied. I was looking at the Bitnami Stack and it looked very easy to use. We also may just develop a regular web page, which would make this moot.

MediaWiki and most other open source CMS systems are much more portable than the ones provided by vendors like Apple and Microsoft. Vendors tend to "enhance" the open source tools, making it more difficult to move them later (on purpose to tie you to their platform in my opinion).

However, it is possible down the line that I will have to transfer the Wiki to another site, likely non-Apple. Does anyone have an idea or experience of how portable an Apple Wiki site is, say to MediaWiki. If it isn't very portable, any tips on setting up MediaWiki on a Snow Leopard Server.
