I have done this on sourceforge.net and it's running quite good. There is only 
the login problem but i assume this could be made better or will be gone 
after an upgrade (at least form me) but so far we are using this wiki with 
success.

Here is a good dokumentation i used:
http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/Documentation:Installation

Try section 5, this is what you want.
5 Installing MediaWiki on SourceForge

I recommand that you do some installs on your localhost first to get a basic 
feeling for the software ;-)

Maybe ;-)
