They use vBulletin (if I reremember correctly). It's commercial software.
Personally I am a fan of PunBB which the OpenWRT project uses
(http://forum.openwrt.org/). A clean unobtrusive look.

Don't know on wikiserver, but I've used MoinMoin for a lot of projects and it
is fairly widely used (I believe the Fedora project uses it for their Wiki
pages). It has a nice GUI editor for those who don't know "wiki language".
It is Python based and quite easy to get working with Apache.
