Like any other software, make a set of requirements and then go
looking. The order of those two steps is important, though you're
allowed to iterate.

Remember to match the requirements to the people who will actually be
using the thing, not the people who will be managing it :-)

Personally I think the plethora of formatting options in things like
Confluence tends to distract people into spending vast amounts of time
getting their pages to look just right, that would have been better
spent capturing more actual information. Or it makes them avoid adding
information because it's too hard, or it takes too long, or it invites
odious comparisons with other people's entries.
