I remain dubious about that last point.

Perhaps my experience in corporate America – does anyone else use Sharepoint – is atypical.

Several workgroups setup wikis. We heavily promoted ours to one and all, integrated it with Active Directory. We ourselves moved all of our internal documentation to wiki. And we use the snot out of it for documentation, project planning, notes …

All of it ‘free’ to the company.

The Powers That Be bought Sharepoint and fell in love with it. They’re upgrading it – the silly thing now lives on a cluster of windows hosts.

You can’t compete with City Hall. Or in this case a senior manager who likes him some Sharepoint.
