The only point which I don't know is about the wiki being public facing or
private. I know github offers private repositories, and I assume private
wikis too -- but I suspect there are some strings attached and I have not
explored them.

You do not get wikis for private repos for free plans. They do offer
nonprofit plans: https://github.com/nonprofit

FYI, Kanban style notes are available via GitHub Projects.

everything you would like to have, besides index pages (because they trust
so much their search function that there is no index and if you are not
very well organized you end up like in a messed up pile of paper in a file
cabinet).

We are about to switch one of my companies over to Workspace Docs. I'm a
search-not-sort kind-a-person. We have been using ownCloud, and it's a big
pile of files in lots and lots of directories, and ownCloud search sucks so
it's almost impossible to find anything. My experience with Google is that
you can find everything with enough words. However, I also find that it's
harder for some people than others.

Some people like RedMine, because it is open source. I haven't used
easyreadmine.com, but I think it's related to redmine.org so you'd be
supporting open source for $80/month.

Cheers,
Rob
