Single sourcing from Frame and a wiki ... or something ...

Something I didn't make clear in my earlier post: MindTouch Core is
free and supported only through a user forum. MindTouch TCS is a
commercial hosted version with support and some extra features.

TCS was what I was referring to when I said that MindTouch has
unlimited free "community" users who can post comments and rate pages.
The annual hosting fee is based on the number of "pro" users who can
create and edit pages, use the admin interface, and so on.

One sticking point I encountered with MindTouch was trying to create
the equivalent of Confluence "spaces." By default, it displays the
entire wiki in a single page tree / table of contents, so if you have
versions 2.1, 2.2, 3.0, and 3.1 of a document, each will have its own
branch of the tree (e.g. /product_name/2.1/user_guide).

I don't think it's particularly difficult to make a branch of the tree
appear as a separate entity (lots of MindTouch sites do that), it's
just not documented and when I asked how to do it on the MindTouch
Core forum nobody posted an example. If you go with TCS, they'd
typically include setting up that sort of thing in the initial setup
fee.

Whatever they discover to solve my issues may trickle down to the Core product as well. In any event, I will post here what we find out. A reliable means of publishing from FM10 to a knowledgebase would be a Very Good Thing.
