consideration of wikis as community documentation tools should
probably consider their use in other projects and how they have
solved similar problems/questions. the zope community is probably
the prime consumer of wiki technology and has tackled many of the
issues brought up here.
for some analysis and code check out

michel feldstein raise some good questions
at least for zope wikis i can answer
- zwikis are user editable
- zwikis support versioning with multiple undo levels
- zwikis support role based editing based on zope acls.
authentication can be done off external resources like the pg db
that houses the openacs user info. members without write priveleges
can be given comment only privileges.
if anyone in the community is intersted in seeing this in action,
i'd be happy to set something up.
