Lately, on both the personal and professional side, I've been exploring MediaWiki as an application platform, combined w/ the use of the SemanticMediaWiki extension - it provides a lot of capabilities (versioning, reverting, account model/permissons, discussion, omature and popular framework). Additionally, the interwiki links and ability to upload to Commons.Wikimedia.org feel like a strong opportunity for the persistence of OFLB content. The downside is that mediawikis theme-ing isn't as straightforward as other CMSs.
