Mediawiki would be great.

I believe it's ikiwiki. I don't like it very much.

That would be very nice if you wanted to do it. I've done Mediawiki
installs myself other times, and it was easy enough. What I think is
gonna be laborious is to convert ikiwiki to mediawiki. I forget who
was administrating the wiki, but if I could get a database dump, I
could probably hack together a conversion script in Perl from ikiwiki
to Mediawiki.
