Which cms or script for social network wiki?

Question

I am building a social network. I need a cms that will allow users to contribute content. Each content item will need to have a google map, list of features, ratings, comments, etc. And the content must be editable by other users with revision control. Also, each user should have a profile with their bookmarked content items, contributed items, comments, etc.

It's very important that I can create a template for the wiki/content entries so that each item looks uniform. (and as a kick in the teeth, I would like to be able to search for wiki items using a radial search or map)

Joomla was my first choice, as I've used it for many projects, but the wiki functionality is not there.

I was also setting up a grou.ps site, but the wiki is so-so - not feature rich and it really doesn't have the option I need.

Additionally, I know someone out there will mention Drupal. I may consider it if I can see it put to use without and overabundance of custom programming (I don't mind initial coding, but drupal requires constant coding & recoding - with this site, I dont' have that time commitment)

I thought about using mediawiki with buddypress, but i'm not sure if that's the way to go.

Thoughts?

A modified version of Mediawiki sounds like it could do everything you want to do. Mahalo.com does pretty much what you are talking about, and they (used to, I don't know if they do anymore) use a heavily modified version of Mediawiki.
