Which one would you propose, and what advantages do you see over
MediaWiki with some editing discipline and rich styling?

My old company has been using Joomla for their public-facing site
for 1 year, so they have some experience with that one.  I quite
like Drupal myself.

In my mind, this is the result of missing full time maintainers
with a clear web design in mind.  A CMS by itself would not solve
the issue; It could even make it worse.

For example, look at OLPC's institutional web site: the People page
lists people that walked away, people I have never seen and other
inaccuracies.  Journalists look at this shiny thing for a moment,
then come back asking if perhaps we also have a web site with real
content :-)
