We're a legal services program experimenting with wikis. We're immediately seeing benefits.

We received a request for numerous documents prior to a visit from a funder. Instead of initiating dozens of e-mail threads with attachments, we've set up a wiki and posted all the requested documents. We've given the funder's staff access to the wiki to download the documents at their leisure. No confusing e-mail threads, problems in opening and saving all the e-mails and attachments, no download issues-- it's a very neat and orderly process.

We're using Mediawiki to capture all our programs manuals as well.

Mike - This sounds like a great use of wikis. I hope that other programs pick up on this tip!
