Management of meeting notes, team agendas,
group calendars
Cheap, accessible project management
Storing documents viewed or revised
by a large or dispersed team

When a wiki might not work

No champion / shepherd for the wiki
Collaboration and peer review not appropriate for your group or workplace
Your goals:
