Hi Scott,

There are lots of options out there for you. We have had great  
success with MediaWiki in all languages except right to left ones  
such as Arabic. We're still working on that. MediaWiki is a free wiki  
you can download and run off of your local server giving you the  
flexibility to password protect to the extent you would like to do  
so, or not, and to add in the formatting tools you want or delete  
those you do not want from their default set. It is the same  
application used for wikipedia so there is a large community of  
support out there as well and a great deal of documentation if you  
need it.
