having used twiki and moinmoin, I think moinmoin is a better system now.  I've 
run twiki as part of IPCop and it's worked rather well.  We have had more damage 
done to us by sourceforge than we have by vandals.  I believe moinmoin now keeps 
track of revisions which means it's easier to recover from a scribbler.

I think part of the reason they are thought of as being "great" is because they 
make it dammed easy for anyone to contribute.  They lower the threshold of 
effort needed to participate which makes it more accessible to more members of a 
community.  I've submitted a feature request with the abiword people to add a 
plug-in which will make it even easier (i.e. no markup language knowledge 
necessary).  This plug-in would allow one to import and export pages from the 
wiki and edit them in WYSIWYG mode inside of abiword.
