OT: Tech Writers & Wikis

[Ron Miller]

I see here a key difference in this discussion. One is the open wiki 
like Wikipedia. The other is a corporate blog or wiki. The 
implementation is similar, but inside a company, the wiki contains 
information from trusted sources about *your* project.

It provides a forum and a structure to communicate and share information 
as a team.

And in fact, there are many companies who are providing wiki and blog 
structure for companies to work in a structured collaborative 
environment outside of the open source options.
