7. Conclusion:
One possibility, if you like Visual Basic, is to combine MediaWiki with vbadvanced, vbulletin, mediawiki, and vbwikipro. Vbulletin allows you to have forums and blogs, along with e- commerce possibilities and social networking. VBAdvanced handles all your CMS issues, add modules, and allow you to integrate all types of pages (such as flash, php, and html apps). Then you can add MediaWiki and the vbulletin bridge, which would be vbwikipro. For a public wiki, MediaWiki is the right choice. If, however the goal is to promote collaboration and knowledge exchange across projects, the selection decision after weighing all facts is decidedly against MediaWiki. The other options offer better functionality.
