With much-appreciated help from James Farmer, I am going to start a wiki (subject matter TBA, :) but I think everyone will like it and find it to be a useful resource). He has asked me if I want PHPWiki or TikiWiki. Based on what I know of each, I'm leaning toward Tiki, but I'd like to hear more opinions.
I'm Clancy Ratliff, an associate professor in the Department of English at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, where I am also the Assistant Director of First-Year Writing. I'm married with three children.

Tiki
You can have a look at my version of it if you fancy: http://www.incsub.org/wiki/tiki-index.php
It's pretty basic but you can add a trillion different levels of functionality/tools/css layers if you like!
Naturally the challenge of administrating it goes up with teh possibilities it offers... but if I can half manage it tgen it shouldn't be a huge probblem for a lot of people!!!
I'd be interested in other peopels takes on this too.
Oh and if anyone else in the education / training / academic field is interested in this sort of thing just get in touch & I'll see what I can do :O)
Cheers, James

TikiWiki
I've just spent the past week working with TikiWiki and am quite impressed with the toolset that TikiWiki offers. With a little work you can do some amazing things with no programming knowledge.
Good luck!
TikiWiki
I'd lean more to TikiWiki, it's a breeze to install on my Linux box not mention even easier on my "old" Windoze one.
It's written in PHP (duh) but overall its a good CMS to do things with. I think it lacks in the templating system though - it uses Smarty, which while not being that bad inst that good either - but you can build upon it and i have made some interesting themes too. As for plugins - i would say theres quite alot - not on the scale of ala PostNuke etc but its quite handy - i;ve made a few plugins myself including some nifty JavaScript ones. But overall i would say go with TikiWiki, it has a larger development base then the other wikis - (not including MediaWiki).
