Thinking about installing a wiki for a project, this will be just a first time & short term wiki, looking for a good lite setup. Looking at dokuwiki, is there a better choice???
Exactly the two I would have suggested are already on this thread.
We've been running Dokuwiki in production (using the Shibboleth plugin for authentication) for years, and I am happy with it.
(I am a wee bit irked that the latest release - 2009-12-25c as of this writing - requires PHP 5.1.2 or newer, but nothing is perfect. We'll just keep running the old version on our internal host.)

If you need something more fully featured, www/mediawiki is generally well regarded, and it has a huge development community behind it.
Not if you're running RHEL, which (depending on where it is in the support lifecycle) backports security fixes instead of bumping to later PHP versions. If I were running Dokuwiki on FreeBSD I would have no problem. But last I checked the shib port was broken.
I'm with Dokuwiki as well, I like the wiki syntax it uses, and it's also fairly easy to modify/extend. I also like how it just uses text files for storing data instead of using a (MySQL) database. pmwiki also uses text databases btw.
