I've used MediaWiki - but that was back in 2005.  Given the comparison 
matrix:

http://www.wikimatrix.org/compare/TWiki+MediaWiki+Confluence+TracWiki

I think I would prefer TWiki as a.) it's written in Perl and b.) it's 
text-file based as opposed to a relational database (K.I.S.S.; plus, the 
expected size of our wiki will likely not affect performance).  TWiki 
also appears to be mobile friendly...So TWiki gets my vote.

Given Tahoe is a python project, both my preferences above could easily 
be construed as disadvantages...
