This suggests that you plan on installing WikiMedia on user's workstations...which is, to my mind, not how you would use any similar software package.
Typically, such a product is installed on one box acting as a server, and everyone accesses the same server to create, edit and update content.
Giving everyone their own MediaWiki install is an administrative nightmare. There's a reason IT folks don't install Microsoft Exchange on every workstation!
Additionally, how do I know I'm not creating the same content on my workstation that someone else three cubicles over has created on their workstation?
All you need is one install. Or love, if you prefer.
