I have a pmwiki for technical doc, mostly short docs, no blabla, and wordpress
for discussions and comments
pmwiki

wordpress

it's much easier to find something in pmwiki because you have to organise
yourself and it's easy to make cascading pages.
Wordpress is more linear, the ols docs may be difficult to find. May be you
notice when searching google that you get( a page where you dion't have
anymore the wanted article. Never such thing in pmwiki.
the best of wordpress i to have a summary link with the first sentences of the
text and a link (tag "more") for the rest.
of course you can have similar things on the two systems, there are blog-types
pmwiki and you can build table pages in wordpress
my web site main page with wordpress:
http://dodin.info/wordpress/
and with pmwiki:
http://dodin.info/wiki/index.php?n=Main.HomePage
wordpress like summaries on an other pmlwiki I manage:
http://asso.culte.org/pmwiki/?n=Rubriques.LesProjets
with lines like:
