[AuckLUG] Choice of Content Management system.

The only content management systems I have used are moinmoin and
mediawiki.  I don't think either of these can do quite what I want.

What we have: Basically we have an existing intranet with handcrafted
html files as pages, and misc MSdoc files, loosely held together by
index generation scripts.

Wish list: 

0. Documents stored in html format.

1. Most contents managers keep histories of page/document changes. We
need this is otherwise it is virtually impossible to track changes to
documents, and who did them.  
  a. So we need a who and wot changed diff capability for html.
  b. Newer html docs can be added to history/change log automatically.
  c. If the diff was mostly nicely formated, that would be a plus.

2. Some of the pages are MSOffice documents, to have these converted to
html would be great.  (Doesn't have to be perfect, can even strip out
the fluff, not sure what to do with the embedded stuff)  

3. HTML based content, not wiki markup.

Everything else that moinmoin or media wiki has.

I guess a .html to .wiki filters and a .doc to wiki filter could do the
job.  Maybe what I am looking for is a norm, or an example to follow.

Any hints?
