How does your store store your internal knowledge? Meeting minutes, software specifications, plans, notes on other organizations, discussion and storage documents, agendas ...
We are engaged in software development, but this is not our main focus. Therefore, our wiki / CMS should be able to easily link to files on SVN and Trac tickets. We use the Trac Wiki atm, but this is underestimated: tedious reorganization, no "links here", no document changes.
So: should I use a CMS or a wiki? As I can see:
Wiki Benefits: Easy to grow organically, creating new pages on the fly, blending well.
Disadvantages: there is no support for the structure / hierarchy, so you spend a lot of effort creating and maintaining navigation boxes. There is no permissions model per page / area. No workflow support. Typically, bottom attachment support.
Or do many people use both?
