Hi Matthias,
I suggest you take a look at the recent and elaborate discussion, which I
happened to be involved in:
http://discuss.joelonsoftware.com/default.asp?joel.3.185073.0
In a nutshell, MediaWiki, which is used to run Wikipedia, is assumed to be
the best tool for the job. Many of the issues you raised were discussed and
resolved in the thread.
Hope it helps,
Roy
