I have to say, the MediaWiki system used by Wikipedia et al. is the most user friendly Wiki I've used. A lot of Wikis look very bleak, blocky and unhelpful, including the WikiWikiWeb, that I've seen. Admittedly, it may be a little more bandwidth intensive than WikiWikiWeb, and uses PHP rather than Perl, but it has a lot of features that aid in indexing and searching that I believe make it more suitable for a documentation project. Making the documentation a live Wiki does unfortunately mean that you need to have a local webserver + scripting of choice running by default if you want to distribute it with the CD.
