I can't believe I'm asking this.

If I wanted a simple easy-to-install easy-to-use wiki, to host on my own server, that lets people sign up for new accounts, requires email confirmation before they can post/edit, supports recursive bulleted lists, and tracks edit history... what would you suggest?

edit: to be clear, I'm looking for something simple and light-weight. I just want to post my notes for the con-management software and let other people add to them, and for what I was thinking I think a wiki's probably the easiest way to do it. But I don't want to actually put any effort into installing and configuring it. I want to drop a file on disk and go.

Ask apestyle -- he was just setting up a wiki for work.

I used: http://wik.is/
because it was stupid easy - but they host on their own servers.

mediawiki is nice and simple... if you use dreamhost for hosting they have a "one-click" install for it too

I run my own hosts for everything, but it looks like ubuntu has a mediawiki package all ready to install.

What, you aren't going to write one yourself, from scratch?

Another thing to look at is tikiwiki. some have recommended trac.
