Wiki recommendations -- Practical Experience

I'll make another suggestion: Google apps with a free hosted project
management solution like ManyMoon. The document handling in Google
docs is much more word processor-like than any wiki I've used and
should appeal more to non-tech users. Plus, you can export to numerous
formats. There is also version control and other collaborative tools.
By itself, it does not have any true project management stuff. But you
can get that with various Google apps add ons, like ManyMoon which
integrates well with Google docs. I'd definitely look around at the
various options available through this kind of approach.

We use dokuwiki internally at my day job and also have a Google Apps
account. The non-tech people have a hard time getting to first base
with the wiki (I really don't see why though). But google docs doesn't
seem to have that barrier. And we are moving a lot of internal
documentation to google, and then linking to that from the wiki. That
kind of gets the best of both worlds.
