A more multi-platform friendly (and free/open source) competitor to
Sharepoint would be Alfresco, which cooperates very well with
MediaWiki, if you want to consider supplementing the wiki with an ECM...

Hey, all,
Thanks for your quick and fantastic responses! I am loving this
list. :)
I take the excellent point about looking at whether this is the
right tool for the job. However, the decision to use a wiki comes
out of two consultant recommendations to use a wiki and reactions to
a failed Sharepoint intranet installation (dating to around 2000)
that people hated because it required use of proprietary software,
in that case, Microsoft FrontPage. Moreover, the specific decision
to use MediaWiki was vetted through all of the proper channels, and
no one raised any objections.
Thanks again, everyone!
