We recently changed to MW 1.17 while using Semantic Wiki Extension for ontologies and classification tasks.

MW 1.17
We had some performance problems while testing MW 1.17 therefore we decided to change from to
 * PHP	5.2.9-1 (cgi-fcgi)
 * MySQL	5.0.77-community-nt
 * eAccelerator 0.9
 * PHP	5.3.5 (apache2handler)
 * MySQL	5.5.8
 * APC 3.1.6

Useful addition to MW 1.17

 * Snippets
 * jQuery makeCollapsible

Other useful extensions

 * Extension:HarvardReferences for easier literature referencing since Extension:Cite/Cite.php makes an article hard to read in terms of extensive citation and difficult in template handling.
 * Extension:SphinxSearch for an better search engine functionality as the standard MW and also works on windows.
 * Extension:Header Tabs helps to structure a pages content.
