We do that very thing. I got the idea from Chad Dickerson in InfoWorld
several years ago.

Some thoughts ...

-- If you are a Windows shop, Sharepoint has wiki components that are
relatively easy to use. We are doing that here.

-- there are tons of online wikis, including pbwiki and tiddlyspot

-- If you are able to do Linux, there are tons - Twiki is a leader.

I'll second that. TWiki <http://twiki.org> is very powerful, with
fine-grained access controls and a very large number of plugins. You
can create applications with it too, without knowing any Perl, using
custom built searches around form templates. There's a VMware virtual
machine that you can experiment with at
http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Codev/TWikiVMDebianStable and it's
fairly straightforward to install on most modern Linux distros (both
Debian & Ubuntu include it in their repositories). It's good for end
users too, as they can use it to create centralised applications
rather than having spreadsheets scattered over the network. I have it
set up with a couple of VMware clones syncing frequently from the main
server that can take over if needed.
