Sharing information and updates via a Wiki makes a lot of sense to me. I liked the example given in the short video of planning a camping trip, and using one spot to check as a group plans. I think wikis are great for larger scale events like SDLA . . . when information needs to be routinely updated.
I think it's most likely that I would start or contribute a wiki while we're undergoing some sort of change . . . . maybe a software that has lots of problems (Oh, I can think of at least ONE right off the top of my head)that a number of people are addressing. This is a great way to share success stories or tricks for work-arounds.
This said, I tend to be more suspicious of things like Wikipedia where just about anyone can edit or contribute information that is later believed to be true. The internet is all about the open sharing of information, but I'm still old-school enough to believe that sources should be vetted, checked, and authoritative.
Just sayin'.
