You'd better look at twiki first before deciding on using mediawiki if you need good a permission control. But the formatting rules in twiki look stupid somehow.
If you are using TWiki or do so in the future, remember to list yourself at http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Main/TWikiInstallation in the hopes they notify you about security fixes, or else watch this page like a hawk: http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Codev/TWikiSecurityAlerts
You won't find a hint of it on their main page, but there's a *remote shell exploit* in TWiki's search mechanism, for which a patch was released a few days ago. If anyone on this list is also running a TWiki or knowns someone who is, please make sure you install the fix!
