I'm looking for some software (preferrably written in php or ruby) to maintain my own knowledge base. The reason why I don't think wiki-like systems are suitable for this purpose is they don't have strict categorization (manually create categories, manually assign category to article).
Any ideas?
Thank you.

Sounds like something for a Content Management System (CMS)!
Here's a list of most of them: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_content_management_systems
But personally I think that the best ones out there that could address your issue would be:
http://www.knowledgetree.com/ (This one specializes in knowledge bases it seems, give it a look!) http://www.impresscms.org/ http://drupal.org/ http://www.joomla.org/
They're easy to set up and even easier to manage. Good luck!

Are you looking for a knowledge base software like PHPKB? Have a look at http://www.knowledgebase-script.com and try the online demo. I think it is what you are looking for.

It really depends what you are looking for. I would recommend wiki style, in particular pmwiki.
Best of luck.

I recently started using WorkFlowy.com and using it for this purpose. Not self-hosted - but it works great for organizing your thoughts.

Any good CMS (content management system) will do for you. You can't go wrong with Drupal http://drupal.org/
It's very easy to use and manage. It also has a full blown taxonomy(categories) module - just what you need.
