somewhat OT: open source wiki software that runs well/easily on OSX

[David Herren]

I am in need--rather suddenly--of installing _two_ new wikis (when it  
rains, it pours). One of which will be installed on a Leopard client  
machine, already running PHP5, the lastest stable mySql, and Apache2  
and a box which I complete access to; the other on a FreeBSD hosted  
site.

I have never installed (or even used very often) a wiki, but I do have  
quite a bit of experience running over a dozen wordpress sites and a  
handful of drupal sites.

I have identified the following wiki engines that would seem to fit  
the bill:

- MediaWiki: <http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki>
- PhpWiki: <http://phpwiki.sourceforge.net/>
- EffurtWiki: http://erfurtwiki.sourceforge.net/
- WIkaWiki: <http://wikkawiki.org/HomePage>

 From what I have seen, all of the above would be installable  
relatively easily on Leopard client. I want to be sure I don't miss  
something that the group's expertise might recommend--or warn.

Ideally, the selected wiki engine would support Markdown input since  
both sites' users have been trained in markdown formatting.

Please reply offline to keep list cruft to a minimum. Thanks.
