I have been told to select a Wiki for a software house which will be
used to write there software manual.

My first two choices were Twiki looks good but from what I can read
others have stated of it seems to require a lot of maintenance.

I tried Bitweaver but it seems to have trouble running with IE although
firefox is fine.

Which ones do you recommend?

Wikimedia.

If it's for collaborative authoring, then you need the editorial
monitoring and control that Wikimedia offers.

MediaWiki, which is the Wiki used by projects such as Wikipedia, seems to
be popular. It is very much of the all-singing, all-dancing variety. I've
never set this up, but have contributed to several wikis that used it, and
from a user point of view, it's a joy.

phpWiki is nice and very simple. Very few settings need to be adjusted and
it can work with a variety of database backends, including flat files. The
PHP code is well laid out and well commented, making tweaks to the code
reasonably easy.

Mediawiki is an excellent choice.
I actually use - and prefer - dokuwiki.
