Well in the end I decided to go back to MediaWiki for now.  I tried 
DokuWiki but I just couldn't get comfortable with it.  I also tried 
PMWiki which seemed to be okay at first apart from the fact that I 
couldn't setup authentication, or at least not very useful authentication.

I think I might step back from it all and plan it out a bit better.  For 
a start it might be a good idea for me to get the data out of the 
existing Notes databases into some plain text format and then 
re-organize how they should go in the Wiki (at the moment there doesn't 
seem to be any structure to it).
