[Hidden-tech] Best wiki software?

[Ron Miller]

I've used Social Text a couple of times. It's not flawless, but it 
certainly does the job. We had a about a dozen writers collaborating and 
it provided a nice outlet for the editor to post information and for the 
writers to react to it and in some cases vote on it.

It's not very pretty in terms of layout (but most wikis aren't). You may 
also want to look at iUpload. They have done a lot with corporate 
blogging, although they may be more high-end then you need.
