Knowledgebase software recommendations?

["Leonard C. Porrello" <Leonard -dot- Porrello -at- SoleraTec -dot- com>]

I've been tasked with creating a knowledge base, and I'd be grateful for
any recommendations or advice anyone might have. I searched the Techwr-l
archives and found only one useful lead.

 

Following are the requirements. I've broken them into two categories:
"Necessary" and "Nice to have".

 

Necessary

1.	Runs on Bluehost (a web hosting service that supports Apache,
JavaScript, DHTML, PHP 5, Perl, Ruby, MySQL, PostgreSQL)
2.	Has an internet based editing interface that enables users to
open a browser, navigate to the URL, and create or edit a section 
3.	Supports multiple authors (though not necessarily
simultaneously) 
4.	Supports editorial review prior to public release (unlike, say,
Wikipedia, in which any changes you make to a page are published as soon
as you save the page) 
5.	Supports printing of individual sections 
6.	Search 
7.	Full control over who is authorized to edit (unlike, say,
Wikipedia, which anyone can edit)
8.	Topic creation and sorting by software version

 

Nice to have

1.	Free 
2.	Cascading style sheets so that I can customize the look 
3.	Easy to implement and maintain

 

Many thanks in advance.

Leonard
