As far as I know wikimedia allow this under the 'discussion' tag. Granted  
is not the same layout but I think if we had access to the code we could  
have that too is just a javascript that put that layout.

I don't think a CMS will provide the right flexibility that a wiki  
provides. We already have a strong CMS in Plone at the OOoAuthors website.  
You can use that resource and start a documentation like that but IMO it  
will be duplicates of efforts. We used to have twikiwiki which is a more  
cms-like wiki which allow you to have those comments but again I dont  
think that layout is so important to change an application.

Exactly, then again I encourage you to explore what mediawiki can provide  
you without having to switch the whole infrastructure.
