Also, have you guys looked at *Twiki* http://twiki.org/ ?

We are considering using it for our own sites as the main CMS.  It is
a structured wiki that can be used as a general Content Management
System as well.  It is written in Perl and has the ability to store it's
data in flat text files.  The license is the GPL.

Apparently a lot of big companies are using it, such as Yahoo!,
Motorola, and Texas Instruments.

Also, since I there was discussion about a captcha, I just checked and
Twiki does have a Captcha Plugin.
    http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Plugins/CaptchaPlugin

I just thought you guys might like to know, in case you were not already
familiar with it.
