I am in the middle of a busy season at my job as well but I will
consistently have a few hours every week to put into the wiki for the
foreseeable future.

If the project needs someone to set up and run the infra I can
volunteer, at least for the setup and administration in the short
term.

What were the features that you liked from Twiki? It's quite possible
that we could install some extensions to Dokuwiki that can give us
similar functionality; there's a pretty active community around them.

I'm certainly not opposed to using other Wiki software either; my only
real opinion is that there are better options than the classic
standby, Mediawiki. Besides that and Doku, the only other one I've
personally hosted is MoinMoin, and I don't really recommend it. I
guess I've run Confluence too but unless someone's got a friend at
Atlassian it's not really viable.

One of the ones I've always been interested in is Gollum; it powers
the Github wikis. [1] I'm not sure if it piques anyone else's
interest. I think that access control is only available via a patch
though.
