Wikis are great.  I've used them on a number of projects.  

Highly searchable, etc, etc.

But... access, having people enter stuff, and the fact that everything
tends to be free-form are disadvantages.  There are knowledge-base
products and FAQs available, but they suffer from similar problems....
