We have begun to use Confluence (a commercial wiki) internally. It's
proven quite successful in several groups in the engineering department
and I am trying to encourage its use in tech pubs and elsewhere around
the company.

Given its fairly robust import, export, and security capabilities it
could eventually be used outside the firewall as a method of publishing
manual updates, software updates, tech bulletins.
