We're currently in the idea stage and not all of us are on at the sametime. I figured a wiki and a forum would be a good idea, but i'm having trouble choosing a good Wiki CMS, any suggestions?

A list of some of those available is included below, and another can be found at Wiki:WikiEngines. Some wiki software is not intended for collaborative work, but for either content management or for personal information organising. Examples are AcroWiki or wikipad for Palm OS, Tomboy and Zim Wiki for Linux, ConnectedText and wikidPad for Windows, and ZuluPad for Mac OS X and Windows. Quoted from Wikipedia

I also think it's the most used system so it's easier to get people to work with it if they are already known to the wiki system. If it ain't broken, don't fix it!
