@Abhishek: I actually have looked at ikiwiki. I’m thinking about trying it out on my personal server once I get back to college.

@Karthik: I’ve heard of muse-mode but haven’t really looked at it. I’m coming to realize that HTML by itself may not be very suited for highly structured data. But for normal writing Markdown seems pretty good.

Since you mention Org mode, I take it you have used (or taken a look at) muse-mode for emacs? The format is markdown (somewhat), but you don't have the usual indentation problems. In addition, there are tags for raw code and examples. I hear it does Wikis too, although this is best maintained locally. Just a suggestion.

ByteBaker talks about using it to organise papers he downloaded and to make a wiki. [...]

ikiwiki is a nice option if you go the Markdown way…
also it can be extended by plugins, so if you have
some kind of special data you could write an exporter
plugin for that. Plus it stores the stuff in a VCS.
