You may want to try pmWiki. This will give you a realy nice base. I
happen to use it for my site once I had to give up my JSP\Servlet based
website.

I find that it is very flexible. It has a lot of add on modules
(recipes) to enhance your site. You can also easily add on your own
modifications (php).

Main link is here:

Link for all of its recipes from their cookbook:

All of the Themes (skins) you can use
