David finally found the time to merge the rollback patch into instiki 
but in the process zapped all pages from after november the 5th 
(apologies on his behalf for not updating the wiki with this info).

I have a backup of all the current pages, so they are not lost -- but 
there is no easy way to import them, so I do think this is the chance 
to move to another wiki.

I have no experience with other wiki software, a few things that would 
be nice:
  o run under apache (to allow for robots.txt and fine-masked 
authentication)
  o some wiki-spam prevention
  o page history with rollback of course ;)
  o would be preferable if the syntax is textile for compatibility
    o and preferable also if it can import pages easily

If there are any suggestions, it would be nice to know how they fit 
with the above requests.
