I'd second that - I've introduced one at work for product  
documentation and it's making my life soooo much easier. mediaWiki is  
a brilliant piece of software.

The only thing I would suggest is to lock it down good and tight (ie  
no anonymous edits, and no self-created user accounts) to keep wiki  
spam bots well out of the picture. There would be a very minor  
overhead in manually creating accounts for those who want to edit  
pages, but I don't think there would be that many.
