Hi John!
    I guess you've seen the comparison tables at 
http://www.wikimatrix.org/ ?

ScrewTurn's WYSIWYG-editing feature does look nice. Not an option for 
us, though, because we recently moved to a LAMP server. We did the 
boring obvious thing and installed MediaWiki, but it's a bit clunky in 
places.

For commenting software, we've just started looking at Disqus, although 
we want the wiki itself to get a bit bigger (it's not yet at critical 
mass) before we consider enabling any discussion features. I'm toying 
with the idea of initially using Disqus with most of the features 
disabled and anonymous use permitted, just to add simple "Like" buttons 
to exhibit pages, so that we could generate ranking lists of 
"most-liked" exhibits, without people having to go through the hassle of 
logging in or setting up accounts. But there's probably a simpler way of 
doing that than installing a full-blown commenting system and switching 
most of it off. I looked at a load of MediaWiki "ranking" extensions, 
but they tended to be too sophisticated .. we just need a basic, 
minimalist "like" button, not something that asks people to type in 
percentages or numbers. There doesn't seem to be a simple MediaWiki 
extension that does this.

Long-term, it'd be nice to use Disqus or some other similar system to 
add an informal "comments" panel below most of the main wiki pages on 
our site, where people could add their personal experiences of 
particular toys.
