Greatly appreciate all these suggestions, we are going to test several of
these packages out and determine which will be best for us.

Thanks!

Then comes the task of getting the legacy wiki pages off the Mac wiki
server over to the new wiki

Argg

More figuring out to do.

We're a new group and at recommendation of this thread, I set up
dokuwiki for us and I like it already!

On the wiki side: +1 for dokuwiki

Given that more and more people are automating stuff and this way ending
up git anyway:

Write your doku as markdown, put it into git, generate static web
pages. For people who like editing via a GUI can use gitlab or something
similar.

This approach has some advantages:

- You always have (a more or less) current version of your documentation
  offline
- You can just use grep to find stuff
