After looking at most of the blog and wiki software out there, I chose 
MediaWiki for my wiki and WordPress for my blog.  I like each in its own 
realm - a wiki for organized storage of linked data; a blog for, well, a 
blog.  To my knowledge, both allow you to setup user restrictions for 
posting and editing content.  Both run with a MySQL backend for data 
storage.  Both can be customized fairly easily.

For a FAQ, I would probably recommend a wiki, myself, since you're going 
to have much more freedom in your page layout and formatting than with a 
blog.  Most blog software just wouldn't be able to handle the 
organizational requirements most FAQ's require.
