From Seo Wiki - Search Engine Optimization and Programming Languages
ScrewTurn Wiki is open source (GPLv2) Wiki software that runs on the Windows ASP.NET platform. It is written in C# and by default does not require a database, though SQL Server and Mysql are supported by the use of plugins[1].
It can be considered both a Wiki and a Personal Wiki because it also has a Desktop Edition[2] that runs locally without the need to be installed on a web server.
The user interface, thanks to many users' contributions, is available in 11 languages. The syntax is very similar to that of MediaWiki.

[edit] Drawbacks

[edit] Open source development prize
In 2007, blogger Jeff Atwood asked his readers to help him donate money from his blog's advertising revenue to open-source .NET projects.[3] In 2008, he awarded $5,000 to ScrewTurn.[4]
