Hello Everyone,

I'm looking for a recommendation for wiki software. I'd prefer it to
be something that for end users it be pretty easy to use and intuitive
for end users (which is completely subjective).

However, my primary requirement is that this wiki software be able to
house multiple, separate wikis under one instance of the running
server. To my knowledge, something like Mediawiki
(http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki) doesn't allow for this,
although I could be mistaken. I did try out PHPWiki and it suffers
the same fate.

Instead of continuing a hunt through wiki servers, I figure I'd be
better served by asking you guys. Any suggestions?

Thanks a bunch.

What do you mean by this? Do you mean that you want multiple wiki's within one instance of apache (so example.com/wiki1 example.com/wiki2 etc...) or do you mean you want there to be a common userbase for more than one wiki?

The latter, one common userbase for multiple wikis.

I don't think I have ever come across a wiki system that does this. It can be done with some hacking of the code of one, else you could try and use something like 'Joomla', an open source content management system with wiki modules and then create a new module for each wiki you want. This would also require some hacking of code though.
