Wiki in the Workplace

Thanks to the writer of DoshDosh for his post about the benefits of authoring good information about one's endeavors in . Our VP marketing picked up on that post and a quick flurry of emails resulted in a new and exciting Wiki project. I will be creating an entry in Wikipedia about our Company, which I see as our first real move towards transparency and community.
Further, I expressed my interest in MediaWiki and threw the idea out that we could host our very own Software-related Wiki containing tips, trick, hacks, and how-to's. This would serve to combine the similar efforts of all our competitors into a massive web 2.0 content farm (all for the good of our customers, of course!)
The idea was instantly approved by the CEO to be incorporated into our site redesign this year.
So stoked.
In the lull of usability testing that has been the past two weeks, a bright Wiki light is shining at the end of the tunnel.
