I still run one site on version 1 and starting at work (intranet) with 
version 2 and a test migration from v1 to v2 at home.
Version 2 is much more easy to customize IMO (if you have to and willing to 
analyse a bit, maybe you than could add some docs :-). I'm still checking 
the version, but 'til now I can't find to much problems to run it. On the 
other hand, I really must say a big Thank You to Patrick, who always gives 
almost immediate answers on serious problemes (as well as others of this list)

I would suggest: If starting a new wiki take version 2. Can't tell you what 
work it may be if you're already running a version 1 wiki. I think that 
strongly depend on how much you customized it (as I did :-). But again: the 
"soft" migration, using concatenated wikis with the compatx1-script should 
be no problem.
