The Dokuwiki concept is interesting, but I'm not all too familiar with PHP. I do know HTML/Dreamweaver pretty well, is there a way to manage a wiki with that?
As I said before, Dokuwiki is very easy to use and not very hard to set up if you follow the instructions. There is no WYSIWYG editor, but it takes about 5 minutes to learn the syntax of pages. For example, bold face stuff text works like this:

**this is bold face text

or lists
*item 1
*item 2
*item 3
*etc.

and header titles are like this
=====Level 4 Header=====
====Level 3 Header====
===Level 2 Header===
etc.

You don't need experience with anything technical unless you want to do a little more with it. Anyway, it's probably not for everyone, but it is easy to use regardless. It doesn't matter how good you are, you want something like this to work as seamlessly as posible with your life. It needs to work with you, not against you. If it worked against me, I would like it for the days of playing with it, but hate it when I get to actually using it. Google DokuWiki and check it out. There is a spot on their wiki where you can create some test pages and what not and play with it before you use it.

I heard about Microsoft Onenote, but I've never been all that keen on the idea of paying for it or pirating it. I will admit there is not such a nice and easy solution like that under Linux, but you can combine programs and acchive the same affect. Though, that takes work and knowlege..it's not for everyone sadly at this point.
